I have known Shilpi for over ten years now, ever since my son and then my daughter joined her art and drawing classes. From the very beginning, she has been one of the most patient, gentle and inspiring teachers I’ve ever come across. She has a beautiful way of connecting with children, understanding their pace and bringing out their creativity with so much love and encouragement. My kids have learnt so much from her, not just in art but in confidence and imagination. One of the things I’ve always admired is how she makes every class feel special. She creates festive-themed sessions for Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Diwali and so many other occasions, making learning fun, exciting and something the kids always look forward to. Over the years, she has beautifully expanded her work doing face painting for birthdays, school events and creating stunning customised artwork, portraits and paintings. Everything she does reflects her passion. It’s amazing to see how far she has come and it’s a reminder that people grow and shine when they truly love what they do. She is the perfect example of that. We are so grateful for the impact she has had on our children. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and heartfelt art teacher.
