She is well known for her religious themed works, portraits, and nudes.

J School of Art, but on finding it stifling, she dropped out and went to Europe on a scholarship by the French Government. The European art world introduced her to the medieval Christian artists. While studying at École Nationale des Beaux Art, Paris, Anjolie started working with translucent colours and muted palette. Using hardboard as her canvas, she engaged in soft dry brush technique. While focusing on her female nude subjects, Anjolie started painting unique characteristics of Christian art especially the frontal perspective, the slightly elongated bodies and the turned heads. This resulted into an exuberant relationship between eroticism and melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn her artistic career of over 60 years, Anjolie has worked in numerous mediums, including acrylics, fibreglass and even Murano glass sculptures.

Similarly, she discourages reading symbols and motifs in her paintings.

Times of India organised a retrospective of her works at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, in 1998 and another retrospective exhibition under the title ‘Four Decades’ was organised on 2002, in Mumbai and Bengaluru. In 2006, her large triptych titled ‘Yatra’ was showcased at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
