My Dad retired when he was 40 and started his own Business. Somewhere in my mind all through my life 40 was going to be the age I retired and started something on my own. This is it!
I grew up in a small coastal town Mangalore on the West Coast of India. I learnt Art from a local Artist from the age of 5 and it would go on to become something I loved dearly. I migrated to the US almost two decades ago and took Oil painting classes from another Artist in San Jose.
I earned a BSc in Mathematics and an MBA in Marketing only because a Degree in Fine Arts was not considered lucrative. Having done my time and having reached the age of wisdom I am now free to pursue my dreams of being an Art Teacher and an Artist.
My Goal is to bring Art into the lives of those who love Art and those who need it but don’t know how to pursue it. I love the journey that this venture has taken me on – this is a platform for meeting people of diverse backgrounds, stories, cultures, dreams and circumstances. Being able to teach Art and to be their coach and influence them, motivate them, encourage them to believe in themselves while creating Art.
