I create with my heart and my hands follow. I create for myself and myself alone. I create without thinking, let alone overthinking, and I encourage you to do the same! My art is a form of self-expression, drawn from my life experience and rooted in authenticity. It doesn’t follow a template and isn’t slave to popularity contests. It’s personal, it’s emotional and it’s honest.

Create With Your Heart and Your Hands Will Follow

My hands and clothes are usually covered in paint, my stamps and stencils strewn all over the table and my mind is in shutdown mode. If you’d like to follow along my creative journey, hop over to my blog, join me in my private Facebook Group or subscribe to my Youtube channel. If you’d like in-depth instruction, consider signing up for my online courses.

A Bit About Me

My name is Mansi (Maan-see), born and raised in India, bred to be an over-achiever.
First landed in Iowa to get a master’s degree in health journalism then moved to California for milder weather (and the guy I married). Never looked back and will likely never relocate.
A recluse at heart, the connections I make run deep.
Art sustains me emotionally and spiritually. Dark chocolate sustains me perpetually.
I thrive on honesty, vulnerability and imperfection.
I’m here to learn and share what I know.
I don’t shy away from hard work—both physical and psychological— it’s the only way to grow.
Kindness is my jam and curiosity my fuel.
Creativity comes easy but time eludes me.
