In the tapestry of life, every thread weaves a unique story. Meet an artist whose journey from homemaker to resin art entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. Over the last five years, her life has undergone a transformative shift, propelled by her unwavering passion for art and her indomitable spirit.The first question that arises is, "Since when are you doing resin Art?" Her response is a testament to her fresh start, embarking on a creative adventure that began not too long ago. In this journey, she has found her niche in crafting furniture, home decor, and wall decor pieces that transcend the boundaries of traditional art.But art is more than just creation; it's about sharing and connecting. She aspires to create awareness about her brand, to reach new horizons, and connect with clients seeking customization. With each piece she creates, her art serves as both a portfolio and an avenue for freelancing, opening doors to customization requests that challenge her creativity....Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in her personal life. She draws inspiration from her mother, who taught her the invaluable lessons of perseverance, age-defying passion, and the art of never giving up. Her art teacher, an expert in his craft, ignited the spark of expression within her, inspiring her to embrace art as a medium of self-expression.The moment of reckoning in her artistic journey came at the age of 15 when she completed her first embroidered bedsheet, a labor of love that took over a year to create. Witnessing the final masterpiece and the admiration it garnered remains an unforgettable memory—a testament to her "Never Give Up" spirit.Yet, every artist has their Achilles' heel, and for her, it's the fear of imperfection. Despite the apparent ease in tutorials, the journey to perfection often feels daunting. These creative blocks cast a shadow of negativity, leaving her questioning her abilities. In these moments, she seeks solace in breaks, family time, and the humor of comedy shows to recharge and reignite her passion.Her path as an artist is not without its challenges. As a homemaker, finding time to pursue her passion amidst daily responsibilities is a constant balancing act. Furthermore, battling cervical spondylosis pain amplifies the difficulty of continuous work. Nevertheless, the satisfaction of creating art that transcends pain keeps her pushing forward.Resin art, she believes, doesn't demand traditional painting or drawing skills, much like how baking relies on technique more than artistry. However, it's widely acknowledged that resin art supplies can consume considerable space. Her solution: compromises and creative storage solutions that blend art into her living space, seamlessly merging her passion with her daily life.A motivational quote, "Never stop learning, for when we stop learning, we stop growing," fuels her artistic journey. It's a reminder to remain humble and continuously strive for improvement.For newcomers interested in resin art, her advice is clear: it's harder than it looks. Guidance is essential, and attention to detail—gloves, masks, aprons, and protected workspaces—is paramount.Her uniqueness as an artist arises from her proficiency in various forms of art, not limited to resin. Her expertise spans acrylic painting, moulding work, decoupage, mirror work, lippon art, and craftwork, setting her apart and allowing her to craft distinctive resin products.In the next year, her vision is crystal clear: to establish a brand known for high-quality, beautiful artwork. She aspires to leave a mark both online and offline, exceeding customer expectations at reasonable costs.Her most sought-after creations are her exquisite wall clocks, each a testament to her artistry and dedication. The market for these pieces currently values them at approximately Rs 5000 each.As a nature enthusiast, she's also exploring innovative avenues, experimenting with fresh flowers and natural elements in her art, blending nature's beauty with her creations.For those curious about her revenue, last month's sales stood at Rs 3000, a steady reflection of her growing clientele with 1-2 average monthly deliveries.Though offline exhibitions haven't been part of her journey yet, she has her sights set on participating in the upcoming Diwali Mela in her society—a promising step forward.SD Academia has played a pivotal role in her artistic evolution since December 2022, offering comprehensive lessons and a supportive environment that encourages learning and experimentation. The camaraderie and guidance she receives from her instructors have been instrumental in her growth.But every artist has their moments of doubt and pride. She finds creating perfect waves for beach-themed tables to be a daunting task. Yet, seeing the final Gulab Table and Pebble Table fills her with an undeniable sense of pride, matched only by the admiration of her friends and family.Among her memorable classes, the session on crafting the Pebble Table with Sharad Sir stands out. His ability to make complex techniques engaging and his wealth of experience in art instruction have made him more than just an instructor—he's become a cherished mentor.
