Art Mentorship and Creative Community Engagement

I believe art is a dialogue, not a monologue. My time as a faculty mentor at the D. Y. Patil School of Architecture has become a vital part of my practice. Watching first-year architecture students take traditional materials like Shilpkar clay and jute to reinterpret vernacular architecture is a testament to the power of guided creativity.

The Philosophy of Teaching

My workshops are not just about finishing a project; they are about understanding the relationship between material and structure. When I guide students through Maheshwari motif design or tile-making techniques, we start with sketches and end with a physical, tactile understanding of the medium. This process of deep observation is what I teach—whether to students or to my private clients.

Recognised Practice

Receiving 'The Dynamic Entrepreneur of the Year' award from The Women's Circle was a reminder that the business of art is also about the community you build. It validated the path of integrating professional practice with mentorship. Whether through teaching, exhibitions, or collaborative dialogue, I strive to share the 'why' behind the 'how'.

If you are an educator seeking a guest lecture, a student interested in mural techniques, or a fellow creator looking to explore sustainable materials like sadhuchi mati, I am always open to a conversation about art that lasts.
