My story started at tiny art stalls and somehow led to painting giant murals for companies I used to only dream about. Some days, it’s all sparkle, other days I’m knee-deep in paint and dust. What’s kept me going? Painting is my meditation, and every part of this journey has taught me something real. ### Why I Mentor Building a creative business is honestly a roller coaster. I’ve had workshops where just five people showed up. I’ve felt that classic self-doubt and “Am I doing this right?” feeling. But I’ve also learned how to build something solid, expand from Bangalore to Mumbai, and keep growing without losing my mind. Now, I want to share all those lessons—mistakes, jugaad tricks, and the wins. ### What We’ll Work On - Shifting from artist to artpreneur mindset (it’s a whole thing, trust me) - Building confidence to put your work out there - Creating multiple income streams, not just selling paintings—think murals, digital illustrations, custom projects, even events - How I handle the not-so-glam bits: client management, logistics, and all the backend chaos - Scaling up your vision, maybe to new cities or new audiences, and when it’s time to build a team ### Real Talk If you’re a talented artist stuck on the business side, or you want to make a real, sustainable living out of your art, this is for you. No overnight magic—just real talk, my full playbook, and honest support. If you’re ready to get your hands dirty, main hoon na (I’m here, for sure). ## Highlights Browse through Nishka Mehta's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/artbeatpaintings/artpreneur-coaching-mentorship/featured) - ![This is what it looks like to have 230 people painting together at one of my Paint Bar workshops.
