Fine Arts Academy of India

My Story 26 years back, happily teaching computer programs to MBA students, little did I know that one day my destiny was about to take an unimaginable turn. After marriage I had to leave my job and move to USA where I had plenty of time in hand. That's when I ventured into the world of Art. With abundance of rich Fine Arts resources and freedom to explore limitlessly, USA turned out to be goldmine for the artist inside me. When I came back to India in 2006, I started my first art school "HandsnKrafts". I experimented with art curriculum, developed good understanding of student's learning psychology and evolved my own teaching style. From there, I expanded my horizon to include traditional Indian arts and interesting artworks such as coffee painting, hand-crafted name boards, murals etc. I transformed HandnKrafts into a new identity - Kalavaatika that reflected the spirit and ethos of my vision. This was the beginning of a journey that finally led to founding of FAAI in March 2018. Next Founding of Academy As I explored various disciplines of Fine Art, I realised how limited and unstructured were the resources and method of teaching art.
