workshops

I offer two types of workshops:

1) Workshop for parents and caregivers of young children on how to nurture chidlren's creativity and artistic talent --

Creativity and artistic talent do not just belong to the few people who were born with them. They can be cultivated and nurished in each one of us. If parents can be more aware of providing the right environment and encouragement to their children, the creativity and artistic talent of their chidlren will flourish sooner rather than later.

2) Workshop for older children on the topic of finding their mission in life --
Art can be used as a tool for self discovery for it helps us visuallize our thoughts and future. This workshop encourages children to express their personal interests, passion, and strength through drawing and use those as a base to teach children think about their purpose in life. It is imperative to introduce the concept of purpose in life to youngsters. This can lead them to the right path and motivate them to achieve their full potential.

welcome!

My name is Abby Chandrasekaran. I am an artist specializing in pastel and oil portraits of children. I am naturally drawn to painting children. I admire their innocent nature and curiosity about the world. We can learn so much from children. The most importrant of all is their unprejudiced view of the world and the people around them. As a mother of a toddler, I am passionate about nuturing children's creativity and artistic talent. I use this website to show my artwork( go to my children portrait gallery ) and provide resources and open dialogs (go to my blog ) on the topic of nurturing children's creativity and artistic talent. I offer workshops for parents and caregivers on this topic. I also do commissioned portraits for babies and children. They are fun and inspiring to work with.

portrait commissions

I do comissioned portraits for babies and children. I strive to use my paintings to capture them "at the moment" but yet depict a particular facet of their personality. Color is the essence of my paintings. I like to use vibrant (and at time unrealistic) colors to depict my subjects. Color is what set me apart from other portrait artists.
