# Shefali Raj

Since 1988, I have been teaching that art is a journey of self-discovery, not a race for perfection. I offer classes and workshops for all ages in a relaxed, therapeutic space where you can find your own voice.

### My story

Hi, I’m Shefali. Been teaching art since 1988 - feels like yesterday, honestly. Art for me is not about perfect lines, it’s about finding yourself. Kids are my world, they keep me grounded. Jay, one of my students, changed my life - meri zindagi mein ek sundar sa phool khila (a beautiful flower bloomed in my life). I’ve seen art bring courage to kids fighting cancer, and Sonam, who came back after 24 years, still fills me with gratitude. Art heals, art gives hope.

### My work

- **Art classes & workshops for all ages**: I run regular batches, creative art workshops, sketching classes for beginners, and canvas painting for adults.
- **Exam & portfolio guidance**: I help with ICSE, Elementary & Intermediate exam prep, plus portfolio guidance for students.
- **Corporate & celebration art parties**: I organise fun art parties for birthdays or any celebration, and corporate workshops too.
- **My teaching style**: No pressure, just exploring, laughing, and finding your own voice. Art is therapy here.
- **Classroom vibe**: We start with chit-chat, then everyone gets lost in their colors. It’s a space to breathe and relax.
