Early Years
Geeta was educated at the Delhi School of Arts and started her career with the government owned Cottage Industries, where she worked on commercial assignments.
A chance project with a London-based design house lead on to projects with Pierre Cardin and Christian Dior, amongst other design houses. She had already started working with her mentor, Nehru Fellowship Awardee, Narendra Srivastava. Soon, Geeta left the world of commercial design to start focusing on her real love - painting. Her first exhibition, on Concrete Poetry, the poetry in the Devnagri script, "Ansh" was held at AIFACS, New Delhi, accompanied by a book of the same name. Ansh was a step in the letterist movement. The work was received by the father of Concrete Poetry and international Concrete poetry expert, Prof Eugen Gomringer, and is permanently placed in the archives in Selbe, Germany.

We see th’appearing buds, which to prove fruit
Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair
That frosts will bite them.”
