Featured Art Projects & Creative Workshops
A look at 11 years of art—from intricate gold-leaf murals and corporate installations to workshops that bring hundreds together.
This is what it looks like to have 230 people painting together at one of my Paint Bar workshops. I've learned how to manage events of this scale, and it's one of the key things I teach: how to go from a small gathering to a massive, successful event.
Creating a gold leaf wall mural is a specialized skill that has become a signature offering for me. This video breaks down my step-by-step process, from applying the gold leaf tack to the final varnish. Mastering a high-value technique like this is a game-changer for an artpreneur.
This video shows the making of a large-scale installation for Birkenstock's Gurgaon office. Landing and executing projects for major brands requires a specific approach to proposals, project management, and creative execution, which I share in my mentorship.
This is a snapshot from one of my virtual coaching sessions on "The Art of Hosting Workshops." I was sharing my 11 years of experience with 17 amazing women from around the world, covering everything from pricing and marketing to managing group dynamics.
Moving from Bangalore to Mumbai was a huge step in expanding my business. This video shows the reality of that journey: starting over, facing small turnouts, and slowly building momentum to host workshops for major companies like CNBC and Bain & Co in a new city.
This is a look back at my very first mural. I had no idea then that it would lead to painting 84 more walls for companies like OnePlus and Wipro. This journey from a single wall to major corporate projects is proof that starting small can lead to big things.
Amidst the chaos of running two businesses, moments like this are my meditation. This is me, working on a large canvas late at night. I teach artists how to build a business without losing the quiet, creative core that made them fall in love with art in the first place.
About this collection
Scaling an art business isn’t just about the creative vision; it’s about the logistics. Whether I’m gold-leafing a large-scale installation or managing a 200-person workshop, I rely on the same 'jugaad' approach to handle vendor sourcing, client expectations, and on-site chaos without losing the artistic spark.
When I started 11 years ago, I didn't think about 'scaling' or 'business models.' I just wanted to paint. But moving from a solitary artist to an artpreneur meant learning to bridge the gap between creative intuition and practical reality.
My work typically falls into two buckets:
-
Corporate Installations & Murals: Whether I'm painting a 67-foot wall or a bespoke 4x6 foot installation like the one for Birkenstock, the process is rigorous. It involves research, sourcing materials (and sometimes literal glue and dust), and executing a vision that fits a brand's identity. I don't believe in the 'overnight success' myth; I believe in the process of trial, error, and sealing everything with a good varnish so it lasts.
-
Workshops & Mentorship: I’ve hosted over 3,000 workshops, from intimate groups to massive events with 230 people. The goal here is simple: to make art accessible and fun. When I teach, I’m not just showing brush strokes; I’m sharing the playbook—pricing strategies, logistics, and how to read a room.
I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to. I've dealt with empty event turnout, project rejections, and the lonely move to a new city. But I’ve also seen what happens when you commit to the work. If you are looking for someone to transform your office space with a mural, or if you are an artist ready to turn your passion into a sustainable business, I’m here to help.
