With several solo exhibitions including the last one that was held at Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai and 30 Group shows to her credit, Sanju is being recognized as an important emerging artist in Abstract Art.   As a child Jain was fascinated with the paper pulp baskets that the village women made. She has incorporated these techniques in making her paper pulp paintings. By mixing clay with some other ingredients, she churns it. The paste thus made is coated on the canvas to dry with glue from the Babool tree. She then wields her brush with colors that invoke sunrise and sunset, dawn and dusk, water and vegetation.
