ESTIMATESAbout Art Exam & Portfolio Preparation
I see art exams and portfolio prep as a big step in your creative safar (journey), not just a stressful hurdle. My aim is to make this process feel less like a test and more like a chance to show what makes your art special.
Exam Prep That Feels Real
If you’re gearing up for Maharashtra art grade exams, I’ve got your back. With decades of experience, I know the ins and outs - from object drawing to memory drawing. Memory drawing can be tough, but chinta mat karo (don’t worry). We’ll do mock tests, break down scenes, and I’ll share all those little tricks that actually work. You’ll get a clear plan for tackling each section, so you don’t get stuck or run out of time.
Portfolio That Tells Your Story
Your portfolio isn’t just a bunch of drawings. It’s your pehchaan (identity). We’ll build it around what you love - sketching, painting, mixed media, whatever sparks your interest. I help you experiment with different mediums, so your portfolio stands out for art college admission.
Beyond the Syllabus
We don’t just stick to textbooks. I encourage entering art competitions, national and international. Winning or even participating boosts your confidence and gives your portfolio that extra edge.
The real win? When you feel proud of what you’ve created. That’s the tapassya ka phal (fruit of my hard work) for me.

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.
