Archana initially painted mostly figurative work, village life, landscape. she took inspiration from Nature, flowers, birds, landscapes, mountains & rivers. Painting is a means of fulfillment and expression for her. Later on, complexities of life, confusions, social problems etc influenced my work. She exhibited her works regularly in different parts of India.

She mostly works on canvas, with oil, acrylic as well as mixed media.

So far 3 solo exhibitions of hers have been held. Her first solo exhibition was with about 50 paintings at Taxila Art Gallery at College of Arts & Crafts, Patna in 2010. Earlier solos were at Patna in 2009 and at Kapurthala in 2007. She participated in several Art Camps- at Patna in 2014, 2013, 2012 & 2011 & ART MODA Camp at Travancore Art Gallery at New Delhi in 2011.
