Reviews

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.

Great Work Lakshmi!!! Lovely paintings and sketches. My kid has learnt a lot from you. We are glad that Ayush is your student.

I like your  workshop Lakshmi. Remarkable,  lovely paintings and you are a wonderful teacher, I must  say. I would suggest everybody in Bay area to join this workshop.   – Karuna Saxena, Parent

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 :).
