NRI Gujarati artist presents painting to Modi, gets poetry in return

Ahmedabad

NRI Gujarati artist Shreya Mehta from Scarsdale in America presented her painting, ‘The Sweeper’ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mehta had written a letter to PMO highlighting why she would like to present the painting to him. She immediately received a call from Modi’s office and soon she traveled to Delhi with her husband Amish. Shri received the painting and wrote a poem for her in return. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of Mehta’s artworks go to charity.

Mehta told a local newspaper in America, “Big changes come with small steps’ – this is what Mr. Narendra Modi said at Madison Square Garden and the thought really inspired me. With the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission (which is a clean India project) I believe Modi is the visible embodiment of my artwork The Sweeper. His personal and professional achievements are a perfect representation of leadership and this beautiful vision. I am honored to gift him my artwork.”
