7 Years of Experience

"Residing in the vibrant city of Bangalore, my passion for art and education drives me. With Seven years of devoted experience as an art educator, I've had the privilege of inspiring and nurturing countless students in physical and digital learning spaces.

My journey into art education was sparked by an unwavering love for artistic expression and a deep belief in its transformative power. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts (BFA) and a Master's degree in Fine Arts (MFA) from the esteemed Jamia Millia Islamia Center University, I've built a robust foundation in art education, spanning various mediums and pedagogical techniques. Specializing in preparing students for fine arts college entrance exams (BFA, MFA) was an integral part of my academic pursuits.

Throughout my fulfilling career, working with diverse groups of learners, my educational philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Encouraging self-expression, critical thinking, and artistic exploration has been at the core of my teaching. Guiding students to discover their unique artistic voices and facilitating growth in both academic and personal development has been my commitment.

In addition to teaching, I've actively participated in numerous exhibitions and art events, bridging the gap between students and the broader community through art.

Believing in art's potential to inspire, heal, and convey profound ideas, I'm wholly dedicated to nurturing creativity and instilling a deep appreciation for the arts. I'm eager to be your partner in your artistic journey, sharing and learning together."
