 Though
basically a Malayalee, Meera Nair was born and brought up in
Chennai, She is deeply interested in art, particularly pencil
drawings.
“Art is more of a hobby to me than a
profession. I like to sketch in black and white,” says Meera.
All drawings are done with the “humble”
graphite pencil and charcoal.
“I feel that pencil on a piece of paper could
do wonders,” says Meera who has not had an opportunity to learn
any form of art but still tries to achieve perfection by
practising.
She finds charcoal and pencil a very attractive medium and shuns
colours. Also with everybody going in for colours, she thinks it
would be unique for her to concentrate on black and white “which
is losing importance”.
 “I
started drawing pictures that greatly impressed me. This, of
course, was not conforming to any rules of drawings,” she says.
Meera believes that there is always a little art in everybody's
heart only it's just not expressed on a piece of paper!
How does she decide on a subject? “Oh, I pick anything
attractive,” Like a woman in a saree or a baby’s face.
But right now she is concentrating on Indian dances like
Bharatanatyam and to her great joy, she has found that a lot of
people like her work on dancers.
She is willing to do portraits of people who like pencil
drawings. This includes dancers also. “If they find any of the
pictures I have drawn to be interesting, they can be sold. In
fact, all of my art works are for sale.”
 Meera
organised a couple of exhibitions sometime ago. Now she is in
the process of planning another one and the “first steps are
being taken” for that.
She would like to thank her mother for paving the way to this
beautiful art world, “my husband and our little son for giving
all support and time in continuing in the field I most like”.
But one has to appreciate Meera’s dedication also. She works in
a private company in a full-time job. So, she finds time only at
night, from about 10 p.m. to 12 midnight, to do her art work!
