I AM DEBASREE.
aRTIST. EDUCATOR.
SPIRITUAL SEEKER.
Unwind, explore, and let the colors flow—a gentle escape from the world, into yourself.
Do you feel you don’t know what your passion is? I didn’t either.
I began painting at a very young age. Growing up in a Bengali family in Kolkata, I was fortunate to explore painting, sculpting, alongside swimming, kathak, music, elocution, yoga, and gymnastics as extra curriculars. However, I never realized that art was my true passion until I was 33.
My painting classes stopped when I was in eighth grade due to academic pressures, and I unknowingly said goodbye to my passion. It would take nearly 20 years for us to meet again.
The ‘Success’ Story: A Career Without Fulfillment
At 21, I joined one of the top IT firms in India and became the family “success” story. I had a “successful” lifestyle by societal standards—traveling, earning well, and experiencing the world. But something was missing. The creative spark that had once fueled me seemed gone, replaced by 15 years of a conventional career path.
Eventually made a bold choice
I quit my job to pursue what I loved. Soon after, I began hosting painting parties in Pune to bring art into people’s lives. In just four years, I had led over 700 events and taught nearly 10,000 people.
Yet, despite these achievements and witnessing so many transformations in others, I hadn’t found the change I sought within myself. I was still holding back creatively, creating “for” others but not yet for myself.
Forced to Move Online: A New Creative Chapter
In early 2024, life took an unexpected turn. When the pandemic halted my in-person workshops, I was suddenly forced to shift my art business online. This change was a challenging transition, but it opened the door to a new era of creative growth.
Moving online allowed me to connect with students from around the globe, expanding my reach in ways I hadn’t imagined.
A Turning Point: Discovering My Creative Freedom
By early 2024, I found myself at another turning point. After a decade of painting landscapes, I realized that something had shifted within me. Although I still love landscapes, I felt the need to explore beyond the familiar. I began experimenting with mixed media, trying new techniques, and embracing a more intuitive approach to art.
This was the year I discovered a deeper understanding of myself as an artist. I learned to let go of external pressures and allowed my creativity to flow in new, unexpected directions.
Now, my work is guided by curiosity, self-discovery, and the joy of exploring what naturally wants to emerge from within.
Following my passion has connected me to a vibrant life force that lies within all of us, and I believe it can do the same for YOU!
"Debasree, you have such a gift for teaching. I’d always assumed painting was too difficult for me, but you made it feel accessible and fun. Your patience and positive energy gave me the confidence to try, and I’m thrilled with what I’ve been able to create. Thank you for teaching from the heart!"
— Aditi
i truly believe that
painting should feel fun, liberating, and easily accessible.
And I’m on a mission to help everyone experience the joy of painting!
I am here to help you overcome creative inhibitions and experience the true freedom of painting—even if you believe you can’t.
Art is not about perfection; it’s about the journey it takes you on. Each phase of my own creative journey has deepened my connection to art and to myself, and I hope it inspires you to explore your path with courage and curiosity.
Yes, you’ll learn new techniques and maybe even surprise yourself with hidden abilities—but I’m not here to shape you into “an artist.” I’m here to invite you to explore, to create simply for the joy of it, and to help you feel connected to your art from the inside out.

My Creative Philosophy
Here are the principles that guide my work and help me create from a place of strength and joy:
1. RELAX
Take a moment to pause. Slow down and reflect on your life. Is it moving in the direction you intended?
Take time for yourself—paint, create, and embrace moments of joy every day.
2. RELEASE
Let go of what no longer serves you. Reevaluate and focus on your core beliefs and values. Unlearn what holds you back and embrace new skills.
Feed your creative spirit and make art that resonates with you.
3. GIVE BACK
Creativity is energy, and the more you give, the more you receive. Share your knowledge, your art, and your unique vision.
The world needs your creativity, and in giving, we all grow.
