About the Illustrator
Barkha Lohia is an Artist and Illustrator who was born and raised in India and is now based in Toronto, Canada. Her work is an amalgamation of everything experienced around her, be it the bustling railway stations, boisterous characters in the streets, or the quiet solitude experienced in the midst of nature. She enjoys working with watercolours, acrylics, charcoals, in short anything that will ruin that perfectly nice shirt.
