Sheela Sharma was only four years-old when she lost her arms in an accident. From a very tender age, her heart was set on art and she did not let the mishap bog her down. "Once, when I was in school, I saw a person painting with his leg. That's when I realised that fine arts as a subject is not limited to the fully abled. While in school, I would make greeting cards, using my foot. In my eighth standard, received the second prize at an inter-school drawing competition - I had sketched a portrait of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Since then, there has been no looking back," says Sharma, who did her BFA from Lucknow University.
