"...slowly my passion turned into profession and no word can express how happy I am today."

"Hi, this is Amita Sachdeva from Madya Pradesh. My childhood was a whirlwind, I visited a lot of places because I come from an Army background. Having lived in different places has made me a more mature and broad-minded person.

"Painting has been my passion ever since my childhood. I used to decorate my home as a child and often participated in floral arrangement shows. I was so inclined towards the magic of art that even before I graduated from Delhi University, I started teaching what I know about art. Eventually I did my B. Ed. and also a Diploma in Textile designing.

"My husband has been my source of inspiration. He has been always there for me. Though he is a Chartered Accountant by profession, he advises on every decision-making.

"Everyday is a new experience for me. My dream came true when I opened my own art school with a few students. And as if everything was planned, one thing led to another, slowly my passion turned into profession and no word can express how happy I am today.

"Indian art is so rich and we should try to revive it. This is what I aspire to do. I also want to teach people abroad the true and rich culture of India. I spend most of my time with my students and this gives me the reason to do even better. I have an 87-year-old student who feels my painted works are great. I feel blessed when I receive such compliments!"
