ABOUT REEMA
Reema Bansal is an Indian painter. Encouraged by her family and enthused by her teachers, she took up painting at the age of 3. Over the years, she has grown as a painter, her exposure to the realm of psychology having contributed to her thought portals and she herself having tutored many painter-aspirants. Press reviews, awards and certificates during these years have made her known to a greater audience. Online orders have been a further encouragement. Humility still remains a hallmark.
Her most recent exhibition of paintings Strokes-III was inaugurated by Kiran Bedi, former Director General of Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) and first lady police officer of India.
Strokes-I took place in Chandigarh (Dec 2002) and won her a number of awards. Another exhibition happened in Solan (March 2003).
Strokes-II, her second major exhibition in Yamuna Nagar, too, was greeted with accolades (December 2003).
