Mitra was born in Northern Iran near the Caspian Sea and moved to England in 1971, to study Textile Design.

She graduated from Trent University, Nottingham in 1974 after completing a Polytechnic Diploma. She went on to complete a postgraduate year specialising in Embroidery during which she developed an interest in Threadpainting.

After graduating Mitra worked as an embroidery designer in Nottingham before moving to the South Gloucestershire area.

Mitra has improved her art immensely, while expanding her links with galleries in the area. She is considered to be one of the finest Textile artists in Thread Painting and her ability is continually admired by everyone who sees her work.

The subject matter is driven by her love of nature and the countryside. Her thread paintings are beautiful landscapes of poppy fields, sunflower fields, cornfields, bluebell woods, country cottages, arboretums, meadows and other rural settings.

The picture below, along with the detailed section beside it, were selected by Quarto Publishing, for their "Encyclopedia of Embroidery Techniques", ISBN: 978-1-78221-475-5, published in 2016, shown on page 130.
