Ratna moved to France after her marriage where she was heading an art workshop for a long period in a centre for mentally handicapped people. Since a few years she has been working as a freelance illustrator/painter, regularly participating in exhibitions & art fairs & conducting workshops for kids.

She has illustrated a few childrens books in India & France, and is always on the look-out for interesting projects.
