Some days I’m lost in my art corner, paint everywhere, other days I’m dancing at a South Indian wedding in a silk saree! That’s me. Once did a mad 365-day painting challenge - uff, tough but wow, your stories kept me going. Art is all heart for me. When I paint Ganesha hugging a child, it's pure comfort, just what I feel. Oh, and RCB is life. Virat’s energy, that’s what I bring to my canvas. ### My work - **Live and commissioned art**: I paint live at weddings and stage shows, and make custom portraits, spiritual art and gifts. - **Personal details**: I've painted a baby in an RCB jersey and a symbolic goldfish into a wedding scene. - **Stage performances**: My live pieces include a 6-minute Kantara painting and a 15-minute double portrait with Kalaagni The Band. ## Book To book Sumana M, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Sumana%20M.)
