About Creative Workshops & Retreats
Why I Do What I Do
Art is my way to breathe and connect. For me, it’s not just about making pretty things - it’s about stories, intention, and finding real connection. My creative workshops and retreats are built around this idea. I want you to feel at home with your creativity, with others, and with yourself.
Retreats That Help You Pause
If you’re tired of the daily grind and want to slow down, my mindful art retreats are for you. We head to peaceful spots like Goa, keep the group small, and focus on real, personal experiences. You’ll get:
- Breathwork and meditation (I’m a certified yoga teacher, so it’s not just for show)
- Guided illustration and painting sessions - no judgment, just play
- Creative self-discovery sessions to help you figure out what matters to you
- A supportive, like-minded community
Everything’s sorted - stay, food, and all sessions included.
Art for Social Change
Travel & Paint India is my way of giving back. I team up with NGOs and local businesses to bring art to public spaces, exploring Bharat’s culture and filling it with colour. Hum apna rang bhar rahe hain (We’re adding our own colour). I run community mural workshops, especially for kids, and support causes like mental health.
The Mural School (Coming Soon)
After years painting murals, I’m starting a hands-on school for new muralists. You’ll learn by doing, not just watching. More details soon.
Find Your Shakti
My goal? Help you connect with your own Shakti - that energy inside you waiting to be seen and felt. Whether it’s a retreat or a community project, I want you to find and express yours.

My Story
Hi, I’m Sneha. People used to say, tomar dara kissu hobe na (nothing will come of you). But I dropped out, left my job, and just painted my first NGO mural in 2018. Before that, dance was my first love, pure devotion. Now, art and yoga are my ways of diving deep—into myself, into stories, into the world. Just got my Yoga Teacher Training done, and even became an Open Water Diver. Life keeps surprising.
My Work
What I do - I paint large wall murals, do travel-inspired wall murals, canvas paintings, and create AR digital art installations and NFT art.
Travel and Paint - I travel all over India, painting stories on walls and soaking in local culture for inspiration.
Stories on Walls - Every mural is about someone real—a fisherwoman, a coffee plucker. I turn their lives into community storytelling murals.
Giving Back - With my Travel & Paint India Tour, I work with NGOs and local heroes, painting for free as my sewa (service).
How I Work - My process? Inhale, absorb, marinate, exhale—art comes from living, not just painting.
