Singhs work positions the arts as a vital contributor to health and well-being by ultilising a fine art framework. She does this by applying social practice methodology to develop creative frameworks that prioritise the sharing of artistic knowledge driven by education and wellbeing.
Singh aims to sustain community and indigenous art forms, which transform women and youth into strong change-makers for sustainable poverty reduction. To mobilise the strength of small artisan communities and social resources for stronger socio-economic development at local levels. Exhibiting these works in a fine arts context allows for greater awareness at both national and international museum and gallery levels. This presents contemporary art as a medium for achieving new educational and well-being models. Applying sustainable and ongoing initiatives where both artist, institution and community can look at the positive social impact they can achieve through the arts to find unique and personal solutions driven by cathartic and therapeutic processes - Darwin Arts Festival
I aim to facilitate vital and necessary alliances between arts, health and education. With projects located within the creative well-being sector. A sector now used to describe the use of arts and creativity with the explicit intention of achieving health, well-being and inclusion goals.
These projects in contemporary arts landscapes hope to draw together and generate innovative and sustainable new ways of working. As the arts have significant potential to help address pressing concerns such as mental health, social inclusion and deepening social and cultural inequalities.
The project outcomes feed back into feminist intersectionality with research showing how social practice art engagement can connect with and contribute to the international arts and health movement. Facilitate learning, collaborations and exhibitions to showcase how the arts and creativity are a vital part of our well-being and humanity.

Singh has used an impressive array of symbolic materials and artisanal techniques from all over the world: an eclectic selection of mineral or vegetable substances; animal body parts; valuable and valueless, permanent and transient materials—juxtaposed. To make a crude distinction about the geographic contrasts: it is contemplation and/versus supplication
