Hi, I’m Shri, the heart behind Awakened Canvas.

I’m a self-taught artist who has been passionately exploring the world of art for years. Along my journey, I’ve immersed myself in tribal and folk art forms — from intricate dot mandalas to Warli, Madhubani, and other traditional styles that celebrate culture, rhythm, and storytelling.

But my deepest connection came when I discovered mindfulness art and mandala painting during a personally challenging time. It wasn’t just about creating patterns — it became a way to heal, to slow down, and to find peace in the present moment.

Since then, I’ve exhibited my work, run community sessions, and seen firsthand how mindful creativity can transform stress into calm and focus into flow.

Now, through Awakened Canvas, I want to share this gift with both kids and adults — creating a safe, inspiring space where anyone can discover the joy, relaxation, and balance that art brings.

Come join me — let’s create something beautiful, together.
