Monika Mittal, president of the Artist Guild, introduced several artists to describe their work as well as herself, whose acrylic paintings are often symbolic whether it be of a feather for freedom or droplets, alluding to a lesson she learned from her mother.

“I learned from my mom that every drop makes the bucket full,” Mittal said.
