Alka M. Jain
Self-taught embroidery artist
- 🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India
- Riverside Gallery
- Since 1988
- English
I work mostly in embroidery, sometimes jewelry. My first show was in 1988 at Riverside Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by faces I pass in the street. I watch every football match going.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

If you've bought a piece of mine, thank you. It's on someone's wall and that still amazes me.
