Passionate artist and educator from Ooty with 17+ years of experience nurturing creativity in students.

I began my journey in 2007 and today lead Manimalar Creative Academy, where we train students in drawing, crafts, music, and dance. We also host district and zonal art competitions and workshops with mentorship from renowned artists and Kalaimamani awardees.

My early work in micro-art — including Ganesha drawings on a single rice grain and 748 grains — brought national attention and reinforced my belief: Art is a vast ocean. Every individual must confidently dive into it and express their creativity to the world.
