Not every professional artist would choose or be able to teach art . Having done so, Lakshmi always seems to be enjoying herself thoroughly . I like her systematic and creative approach to teaching art. Under her guidance, my children have learned to love drawing and painting.

As a parent, I feel my son, Anirudh benefitted a lot by going to the art workshops. It helped him to express himself in the form of art. Lakshmi taught him in a very methodical way, starting from basics. I am grateful to her as a parent for encouraging my son to take part in her workshops.

Ananya had an awesome time celebrating her 10th birthday at Lakshmis Art Studio. Ananya loves painting and invited all her friends and family for an afternoon of canvas painting. Lakshmi, her art teacher, let Ananya choose her color scheme and the theme and personalized the party according to Ananya’s skill level. It was an afternoon of fun with art! Thank you Lakshmi for hosting a great birthday party and making it extremely special for our daughter and all her friends!

Lakshmi Aunty brought out the best in me. Although I attended her art classes about 10 years ago, I still remember her lessons while making a simple sketch. Those tiny details are what make you better at producing art.Kudos to this workshop and to everyone who is part of it :).
