Our Story
Short Version:
Nourish your soul with art and art making. Live Artfully!
Once people finished hunting mammoths and finding caves for shelter, they began painting on the walls of those caves. Our basic human needs have remained the same since then. After we have food and shelter, we also need art to nourish our souls. Our studio is designed to foster a love for art and invite grace into your life. Come and feed your soul with art and beautifully illustrated products for everyday use, community, and camaraderie.
Long version:
Hello!! Welcome to our creative dwelling!
Our story, in the words of our founder Kanika Khurana:
My name is Kanika. I am a seeker, first and foremost. During my journey within, I have found that following my creative calling is the easiest way to cleanse my soul. I am a visual person, as I predominantly think and process life experiences in terms of visuals.
Often, I have been asked about my transition from healthcare to art.
Here goes my story:
While in high school, dedicatedly wading through the quagmire of syllabus, tutorials, and examinations, I chose to become a Physical therapist because I showed a definite academic inclination towards science. I performed well but reached a roadblock. I decided to rediscover my aspirations. I realized I was a seeker and that my creative calling was the most fulfilling among the many paths I discovered during my journey. I found my Zen in art. I am a free spirit and hope that as a happy individual, I will be a better person, worker, daughter, spouse, and citizen.
In my little but significant experience in the field of health care, I have observed modern-day ailments are of stress-related origin. That is because people had more time at their disposal in earlier times. They spent time making things beautiful or artistic. They produced buildings with ornamental gardens, paintings, and sculptures. Art held an honored place since beauty served to enrich their souls with spiritual joy.
We, as human beings, have a gift of reflection. With that, we can appreciate art. Since beauty arouses joy, therefore great art can bring spiritual enchantment. Through my art, I hope to able to give people a sense of peace and harmony. By doing this, I could still heal people on a metaphysical level.
