When Ranbir Kaur moved to the UK 30 years ago, little did she know that residing in the Black Country would take her art 'to the next level'.

The 64-year-old Indian-born artist is known for creating traditional Indian art called Rangoli, which has taken her across the globe.

Her artwork has been demonstrated across Europe, in places such as Germany and Istanbul, and further afield as far as Australia and South Africa.

"I never thought this would happen," she said.

"It was a dream come true, but I always believed in myself, coming to the UK took my art to the next level.

"This is my passion, I don't want to stop, I can't live without my work.

"I started doing it when I was eight-years-old, it's always been in my life."
