“My work is my identity”. – Sumana

Sumana is from a religious family. Her mother Srimati Sandhya Nath, singer and father Guru Shri Sachin Nath, artist, would take their kids to Kalighat temple,Kolkata. These visits have left a spiritual impression in the mind. The love for the culture is evident in the paintings of Sumana. Her father was a senior artist from Pune.
