On account of muscular atrophy, Sunita’s body gradually lost its strength, and in the course of time she lost the use of her hands and became unable to walk.

Mouth painter Ganesh Kumar (long-time scholarship holder with MFPA) encouraged the young artist to paint with her mouth. She enjoyed it very much and rapidly made considerable progress.

She is a member of the MFPA since 2004 and has made beautiful paintings of Gods and Goddesses of India.
