Vendor Biography

Shruti had always liked to draw and embroider at school. The intricate handwork always excited her. However, one after the other, education, family and professional work took over and the craving for creative expression became dormant.

The pandemic forced her to take a break from the mundane and to rethink what she really wanted to do. What started with drawing Mandalas and free hand creatives, soon took wings and she started exploring other artforms.

Indian Folk Arts have always attracted her, the use of vibrant colours, forms, symbols and the way they are combined. As she started learning more about their meaning, significance and the deeper messages they conveyed, she felt more and more creative and connected to herself. She finds joy in painting everyday, sometimes even long stretches of time without even realizing it.

Shruti specialize in Madhubani/Mithila Art. She has done a professional certification course to learn the nuances of the artform and have had the opportunity to learn from Master Artists.

Its a beautiful journey I am experiencing,she says. It has helped her channelize her creativity and given an avenue that is relaxing, meditative, rejuvenating and expressive at the same time.
