## Meet your expert

### My story

People call it an art class, but honestly, half the time it’s a drama school. I started this studio because copying pictures felt boring. Art’s about what’s in your head, how you see things. Like Manya—she mixed cyanotype printing and rock dogra, and boom, RISD scholarship. It’s not just me here; Kuldeep, Satendra, Lubaina, we’re a weird, happy family. Every year, ‘Re-Imagine’ shows everyone’s process, not just pretty stuff. This place? My happy spot, where ideas and people find themselves again.

### My work

- **Art Classes & Workshops**: We run art workshops for kids, teens, adults - fashion, graphic design, product design, and more.
- **Creative Portfolio Building**: We help students prep portfolios for design schools like RISD, Parsons, NID, with real art school vibes.
- **Art Process Workshops**: Forget copying. We push you to think, create, and find your own artistic voice.
- **Adult Art Foundation Course**: Missed art school? Our course lets adults rediscover art, step out of comfort zones, and just be happy.
- **Art Studio Community**: Our studio is messy, lively, and cozy. It’s more than a class—it’s a creative home.
