[[File:Madhubani Art with Bharti Dayal.ogv|thumb|Bharti Dayal showing how Madhubani Paintings are made.]]<br />
From a young age, Dayal was taught [[Madhubani painting]] by her mother and grandmother.<ref name=Belgium /> She pursued the art form professionally from 1984. She has worked to bring innovation in the traditional art practiced in Mithila, and train other women artists from the region at her studio in [[New Delhi]].<br />
<br />
Her style is known for bringing a contemporary cast to traditional Madhubani art using modern media such as acrylic and canvas. She paints with natural, vegetable-based colors. Her renditions of [[Krishna]] and [[Radha]] are said to depict undercurrents of "love, longing, and peace".<br />
<br />
== Exhibitions ==<br />
<br />
Dayal has held numerous exhibitions of her work nationally and internationally. Her Madhubani art was the subject of a [[Documentary film|documentary]] shown on French television in 1995.<ref name=Belgium /> An exhibition of her works in acrylic on canvas painted between June 2015 and June 2016 was organized by the Museum of Sacred Art (MOSA).<ref name= Gurvich>{{Cite web |last= Gurvich |first= Martin |url= http://mosabelgium.com/madhubani-art-indian-art-series-bharti-dayal-june-2015-june-2016/ |title= Exhibitions:Madhubani Art (Indian Art Series) – Bharti Dayal [June 2015 – June 2016] |access-date= 2 March 2016 |agency= Museum of Sacred Art |archive-date= 6 March 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160306230236/http://mosabelgium.com/madhubani-art-indian-art-series-bharti-dayal-june-2015-june-2016/ |url-status= dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
Dayal's seven Madhubani paintings, which are a combination of traditional art with contemporary modern subjects, are included in the book ''The New Bihar''. Her illustration for the book's cover includes a girl riding a bicycle, symbolizing the "empowerment of women and the quest for education", and a fish, which denotes the theme of "rainbow agriculture", or the blending of agricultural pursuits to enhance rural income. Book authors [[N. K. Singh|N.K. Singh]] and Nicholas Stern have observed: "Bharti's use of the traditional style on contemporary themes can contribute to the revival of Madhubani art".{{Sfn|Singh|Stern|2013|p=6}}<br />
