Reception

Navneet Mendiratta at Business Standard remarked about her work, "Tewari is one of the few artists who likes to explore the potential of figurative painting, particularly the psycho-political existence of the female body. What makes her work stand out is the inherent feminism that translates into women empowerment."[12]
