With studies and work experience in architecture and interior design, Shikha's works are a combination of freehand and strict lines. Introduced to intricate pen and ink line work in college, her affinity towards black and white stems from the fact that the two colors contain within themselves the entire spectrum of hues.
​
Shikha's artworks are analogous to her experiences of being a woman and a mother. They are in a way a dated journal acting as a visual synopsis of her musings and tenets about facets of nature that are not just aesthetic but existential.
Apart from the evident aesthete, nature for her is about survival, hunger, the circle of dying and living again. She looks beyond the stereotype visualization of plant life and emphasizes on the underlying biology.
​
After working eight years as an architect and interior designer, Shikha decided to fully focus on her primary interest, art. Shikha Baheti is an Indian artist and the face behind the pseudonym Kalam Dhari which literally means pen wielder in Hindi
