About Nalini Mehta

Nalini Mehta has delved deep and achieved excellence in most of the applied arts like painting, batik and sculpture.

The artist Mrs. Nalini learnt this art (Acrylic Carving) while in U.S.A. way back in 1946 with the support of a friend Mr. Zobac. On returning to India she pursued her interest with the encouragement of her husband Dr. Vinay Mehta. After the death of Dr. Mehta in 1970, she put her work aside to manage their factory. From 1982, with the help of her children, she had the opportunity to devote her time to the art again.

Nalini has won a lot of awards for her work in different media and she has held quite a few exhibitions in India and abroad.

Today she has chosen to pursue predominantly carving in acrylic as it is a unique and exclusive art form. This fascinating art which started off as an experiment has become verily the passion of her life.
