My name is Saswati, a Sanskrit word meaning "eternal." In many ways, that meaning has shaped my life's journey.

 

As a child, I could spend hours drawing, painting, and creating. Art was my natural language long before I knew what it meant to be an artist.

Today, I combine my background in technology, entrepreneurship, and art therapy to create experiences that inspire creativity, mindfulness, and personal growth. I've had the privilege of coaching and guiding doctors, psychologists, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, students, homemakers, and other professionals, helping them reconnect with themselves through art.
