A Review of Pastel Painting and Technique - Summer 2003 - Volume 31, No. 1
In this issue Parima joined other prestigious artists in presenting the underlying factors contributing to the proper application of her pastel technique in bringing to the canvas/paper her inner feelings and artistic vision.
Just like playing a violin it takes years of practice for the techniques to evolve and become second nature so the artist can concentrates mainly on her/his message.
The pastel paintings "White Cat - Green Bowl" and "Resting after a Pose" were published as part of the article.

Parima employed depth, personality and vitality using numerous techniques to convey each subject's beauty.
She was sensitive to her surroundings and fascinated with the facial expressions and the emotions of the people with whom she interacted. "My primary focus is to continue the magic of communicating through my paintings." Parima used to say.
The pastel paintings "Feather Hat" and "Woman Reclining" were published as part of the Stanford Art Spaces article.
