Bhavna’s inspirational paintings are only surpassed by her amazing personal triumphs. Her interests in the arts lead her first down the path of a professional dancer, then to an actress in Los Angeles. Later she realized there was more to life, and left the glitz of Hollywood to open a meditation center here in Delray Beach. Two years later at the age of forty-two she experienced a major stroke which left her right side completely paralyzed for months. Years of rehabilitation followed and yet she is still to regain complete mobility and use of her right side. Bolstered by the practice of Raja Yoga meditation she will happily tell you that her body had a stroke but that she never did, because she never took one moments sorrow from it. Recently, the urgency to create over took her and at fifty-six, with a semi paralyzed hand, she picked up a paint brush for the first time and a gifted artist was born.
She works in acrylics and mixed media and just as she lived life, likes to try everything. She paints seascapes, angels, musicians, flowers, vegetables- you name it, but her favorite subject is to tell deep stories through portraiture. All agree there is an intensity to the work, most especially in the eyes.
