鈥業 began my artistic journey from a young age by drawing on my skin with henna. As a student, I broke the monotony of my school by covering my diaries with imaginative drawings,鈥� Elise said, adding that she finds every excuse to draw, experimenting with various techniques to avoid the boredom of mathematical equations.
The exhibition was inaugurated on November 1 and will conclude on Saturday.
