1. How did your connection with art begin?
I’ve loved art since I was a kid. I was always drawing and winning competitions. But even with all those wins, I felt empty inside, like I wasn’t really doing justice to the artist in me. I mostly copied others’ work and never created anything that truly felt like mine. For years, I kept searching, hoping to find the right guidance that could awaken the artist I knew was inside me.

2. What made you feel like you wanted to join the program when you first heard about it?
The moment I heard about the program, I was hooked. A well-structured, intense 9-month journey packed with so much to learn. It felt like a rare chance to truly grow, fast and deeply. The excitement of diving into something that could transform my skills and my life was irresistible.

3. How did it feel to take the leap and commit yourself to learning full-time for an entire year?
It took me over two years to finally make the decision. I knew this program demanded my full attention and dedication. Anything less would have made it meaningless. I first heard about this program during COVID, with a young child at home and my days completely tied to being a homemaker. I felt it just wasn’t the right time, no matter how much I wanted it. But when life finally settled and I could give myself fully, I took the leap and the excitement, the nervousness, and the hope of what lay ahead made that moment unforgettable.

4. Now that you’ve completed the program, do you feel confident taking up creative projects on your own?
Yes, I feel truly ready to take on creative projects. I’ve begun with a few small ones, and each project fills me with excitement and teaches me something new. It’s thrilling to see my ideas come to life, and I can’t wait to embrace bigger, more challenging projects that push me even further.

5. What kind of creative projects make your heart light up and excited?
Artistic branding is what truly lights me up. I’m drawn to projects that give me the freedom to be creative and tell a story visually, where I can weave in artistic elements and illustration in a way that feels meaningful. The thrill of shaping a brand so it feels expressive, intentional, and beautifully crafted is what excites me and makes my heart soar.

6. What is something you can do today that your past self would have never believed was possible?
Creating my own art is something my past self could never have imagined. Today, I’m more self-aware, I plan my days with intention, take initiative, and push past procrastination. The Artpreneur program has been so much more than just an art course. It has brought structure, clarity, and a deep sense of purpose to my life. Even the way I approach daily chores has transformed, and every day feels fuller, more meaningful, and charged with excitement.

7. On days when things felt heavy or overwhelming, how did you balance your personal life, and what kept you moving forward?
I had been searching for this guidance for over 35 years, and the moment I found it, I knew I couldn’t let it slip away. There were days when I felt completely drained, weighed down by guilt for not being there enough for my child. Yet, I held on, driven by the belief that completing this course wasn’t just about art. It was about transforming my life and building a career my formal education couldn’t offer. That vision fueled me, giving me the strength and determination to push through even the heaviest, most challenging days.

8. How was your experience working with your educator and mentor during this journey?
I’ve had art teachers before. People who pointed out my mistakes so I could correct them. But Niveditha, my educator, offered something completely different. She taught me how to see my own mistakes, to reflect and grow on my own. A shift in awareness I will carry and cherish for the rest of my life.
And Balaji sir has been so much more than a mentor. He has been a life coach, a guide who helped me reframe how I see my life. He showed me how to find my own beacon and navigate my path with clarity and purpose. Their guidance has been nothing short of transformative, inspiring me every step of the way.

9. Beyond the technical learnings, what else did this journey teach you?
Beyond the technical skills, this journey has been life-changing. It taught me self-discipline, focus, and the true power of structure. I’ve become more self-aware, learned to take initiative. Most importantly, it showed me that growth isn’t just about mastering techniques. It’s about transforming the way you think, plan, and live every single day. The excitement of realizing this has been truly empowering.

10. What message would you share with someone who loves art but is afraid to take the first step?
I’ve been there, and I know how daunting it can feel to take that first step. The most important thing is to let go of fear and trust Balaji sir and his process. I’ve witnessed people who had never felt confident at sketching go on to create breath taking digital artwork. Taking that first step can open doors you never imagined and show you just how much you’re truly capable of.
