A lover of fancy sketchbooks she doesn't even use, Khushna is an artist trained at Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University and Slade School, University College London. Her work confronts the complexity of human bodies and expressions, as she tries to channel it from the initial photograph captured. Her method allows for continuation of thought, not only from object to picture, but picture to picture.
