In this latest venture, Kanodia's body of work showed the close bond man has with nature. She explores how ideas flow and senses come alive, when man becomes one with nature. . Although a number of her paintings are set indoors trees, foliage and birds are skillfully integrated.

'The conversation I create in my work is a certain truth of life and on a deeper level, a well thought philosophy. I construct versions of accessible scenes, both rural and urban utopias. Individuals may interpret my paintings in vastly disparate ways and each view will be equally logical and plausible, thought provoking and intriguing,' said the artist.
Kanodia’s work is a salient artistic combination of a still life composition with a message. She is a painter of women who are on the cusp of telling their story.
