“Before I met Swati I thought I couldn’t draw or paint. I now know I can!
Swati is a patient enthusiastic and dedicated teacher. She cares about her students experience and encourages in a kindly and respectful way.
I love attending Swati’s sessions as they are fun and I come away with a real sense of achievement and accomplishment.”

“I have been attending online art lessons with Swati for the last one year. It’s been a great experience and I learned a lot. Swati is a great teacher, very patient and introduced me to palette knife painting and few other techniques. I could expand my skills to a level I have never dreamed of. I look forward to her class each week amidst my busy work schedule.”

— Bushra T (Google reviews)

“When you really want to understand art media and where to start, then Swati is the artist to do that for you. Her teaching style is great and her enthusiasm even greater. She is the best art teacher I’ve had and would recommend any of her sessions. I have attended her workshops and lessons for adults. To be honest, I truly believe she has given me the passion for art. Thank you Swati.”

— Surinder G (Facebook)

“Swati has been an inspiration to me as I have navigated through learning the basics as a complete amateur painter. With her guidance I’ve think I’ve produced some half decent work for a new learner. Thank you Swati.”

—Diane J (LinkedIn)

“Great workshop, with step by step instruction from a obviously very talented artist. Also great fun doing it in a group setting. All materials were included and we each took home a worthy piece of art!”
