Why I Teach Art
Art is more than making something pretty. For me, it's about finding yourself, bit by bit. Since 1988, I've taught over 30,000 students, and honestly, each one has taught me something too. The real reward? That khushi (happiness) I see when someone finishes their work.
Who Can Join
Everyone's welcome - whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or you've been painting for years.
- Kids (4+): I let them choose what and how they want to paint. No strict rules. Every child is a
sundar sa phool(beautiful flower) and I want them to bloom. Many have won awards, but mostly, they just love making art. - Adults & Seniors: Never too late to start. Most of my adult students are beginners. We go slow, step-by-step, at your
apna(own) pace. I even run senior citizen art classes online.

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.
