Private Art Parties and Themed Workshops
Transform your next gathering into a creative escape. From birthdays to team events, I bring all the supplies and guidance to host a relaxed, fun-filled painting session for you and your guests.
This art date was so much fun. This couple turned a photo from their trip into a two-canvas painting, and we even had a surprise visit from a furry friend. I love hosting private sessions like this.
My "Starry Night" painting workshop is always a hit. It’s amazing to see everyone create their own version of Van Gogh’s masterpiece. We start with a fun icebreaker to get everyone loosened up.

Let's paint some hydrangeas on fabric. In this specialty workshop, we take art off the canvas and onto something you can use, like a tote bag or a piece of fabric for an embroidery hoop.
This was for a special Art Therapy workshop on Zine-Making for self discovery. I collaborated with a counseling psychologist to create a safe space for exploring emotions through art and collage.
For Halloween, I did a master study of Van Gogh's "Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette". It was fun to step out of my usual colorful aesthetic and try something spooky and different.

About Private Parties & Themed Workshops
Hosting a private art party is easier than it sounds. I handle all the heavy lifting, including bringing the canvases, paints, and brushes to your venue. You don't need any prior experience to join in. We start with simple icebreakers to get the energy right, and I guide you step-by-step so everyone finishes with their own unique masterpiece, regardless of whether you’ve ever held a brush before.
Why host a private art party?
Whether you are planning a birthday, a corporate team-building activity, or a unique date night, painting is a great way to break the ice and get everyone talking. Unlike standard outings, an art party gives your guests something tangible to take home and a shared memory of trying something new.
How it works
I come to your location in Bengaluru—or we can host it at one of my partner cafes. I provide the full kit: canvases, unlimited paints, brushes, and aprons. You just need to provide a space with tables and chairs. We can tailor the theme to match your vibe, whether you want to recreate a Van Gogh classic, try a DIY tote bag session, or just follow a fun, guided prompt.
What to expect
My approach is 100% judgment-free. I often have people tell me they can't even draw a straight line, which is exactly why they are here. My goal isn't to teach you fine art theory but to help you let go of perfectionism. We play music, laugh, and focus on the joy of creating. It is about the mess, the laughter, and the creative release.
I also specialize in themed workshops. If you want a Taylor Swift-inspired painting night, a specialized craft session, or a calm art therapy workshop for your group, let me know. We can design the session around what your group enjoys most.
If you have a specific date in mind, reach out early. These sessions are highly personalized, and I love planning them to fit the exact size and personality of your group.
