Kalpana’s love for art began in India, where she earned her Arts degree and first sketched with color pencils and charcoal, inspired by her mother. Her artistic journey led her through painting, mehndi, and ceramics, and eventually brought her to the United States, where she continued to explore and grow her creative skills. Today, she channels her creativity into acrylics and henna on hands, candles, wood, and clay pots. A respected bridal mehndi artist in the Bay Area, she also teaches art and views it as her meditation - a daily source of joy, purpose, and gratitude.
