Neelu earned all the laurels without any formal training in her creative pursuits - sculpting-to murals -to interior - to exterior designs - to landscaping. All happened naturally to her- inborn qualities spoke vividly in shapes and forms that found their pride of place. Homes, offices and gardens not only spoke of her triumph over her emotive outreach to people and places - that the former Prime Minister of India, Late Rajiv Gandhi and the former US President Sr. George Bush have her sculptures in their proud collections.

Tree Trunks being her main stay, her creativity extends to a wide range of other materials too - wood, clay, terracotta, ceramics, natural leaves, foliage, feathers, stones, marbles, threads, textiles, leather, gold, silver and precious & semi-precious stones. She selects what suits better for the environment and make it look more natural and more beautiful.

Her creations are widely acclaimed in India and overseas. She was selected from over 100 entries for the INAMI INTERNATIONAL WOOD CARVERS CAMP, JAPAN. There, among 19 participating countries, her work was adjudged the second best globally and the very best in Asia.

Even at the Wood Carvers Camp, Czech Republic, her work was highly appreciated and her sculpture was put on public display at the Town Church. She was invited also to Lithuania and Ukraine.

The indomitable spirit lives on in search of new avenues and opportunities to show case her skills in a borderless world.
