My friend Valli got the third price that year. The next year Jenny, the education officer got in touch with me and asked me if I would do a Rangoli piece for the family day that year. They had decided not to have a competition. I did a piece for them and I was happy at that.
Jenny got back to me asking if I would be interested in being a freelance Rangoli artist! I was really thrilled. Since then I have done a few Rangoli presentations. In 2004, I did two Rangoli workshops, one for children at Children's Artfest in Ashbourne and the other for Le Cheile. In 2005, I did a workshop for adults and teenagers and an exhibhition at the Dun Laoghaire festival of World Cultures.
Every year I do a piece for the Diwali Celebrations at Chester Beatty Library
Here are some of the photos/files relating to my sessions:
