I'm Mansi — an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and storyteller.
My work lives at the intersection of love, culture, memory, and soul.
I began creating as a quiet offering — a way to honor beauty in the in-between: the ancestral, the intimate, the everyday.
Today, I lead a living studio- MY PAINTED STORIES where emotion becomes artwork, rituals become heirlooms, and creativity becomes community.
More about me
The Artist
My art practice is rooted in stillness and self-expression. I paint intuitively, guided by emotion, symbolism, and everyday poetry. Each piece is a window into the quiet yet powerful interior worlds we all carry. My fine art allows me to connect with my own truth while inviting other to pause, reflect, and reconnect with theirs.
Art is also how I gather and nurture community. I lead expressive workshops for all ages — from seniors to children — using art as a tool for connection, healing, and joy. Whether we’re painting together, creating self-portraits, or exploring identity through color and form, my goal is always the same: to hold space for authentic expression.
I also bring my roots and heritage to life through live henna offerings — blending traditional South Asian design with contemporary flair. It’s a joyful, embodied practice that allows me to celebrate culture and creativity in living form.
The Designer
As the founder of MY Painted Stories, my wedding creatives studio, I offer:
Heirloom stationery
Live painting & guest illustrations
Fine art keepsakes
All created for couples & clients who value meaning, memory, & artistry.
Weddings are more than events — they are living rituals, and I approach them as such. Each invitation suite or painted moment is layered with personal motifs, painterly textures, and the story only you can tell.
My style blends refined aesthetics with soulful storytelling, resulting in keepsakes that are as heartfelt as they are beautiful
Where it all started
Before it was a studio, it was a feeling.
It started quietly.
With a paintbrush in my hand and emotion in my chest — long before I had a name, a brand, or an offering to share. I was simply trying to make sense of the world through color and form. As a child, I would draw the things I couldn't yet say. As I grew older, art became my way of remembering: moments, people, emotions — the parts of life too fragile for words alone.
My South Asian heritage was always there, soft and strong in the background — in the patterns of my mother’s textiles, the rhythm of henna at weddings, the beauty of ceremony and color and care. Culture wasn’t something I studied — it lived in me. And it found its way into every stroke, story, and symbol I painted.
In time, loved ones began asking me to create for them: a painting for a home, a crest for a wedding, a card that meant more than just ink. One day, I realized what I was making wasn’t just art — it was a form of visual storytelling. A way of holding memory in our hands.
So I named it MY Painted Stories — because that’s what it was: a practice rooted in feeling, in remembering, in making something beautiful that lasts. Every piece I create is deeply personal — shaped by the unique stories, cultures, and emotions of those I create for.
From weddings to workshops, from fine art to brands — this studio is my love letter to presence, poetry, and the art of being human.
This is where it all began.
And I’m so glad you’re here for what comes next
Let’s create together
If you’re looking for art that feels personal, design that tells a story, or creative experiences that connect — you’re in the right place. I’d be honored to paint your story.
Artist Statement
As a multidisciplinary visual artist, I embrace the freedom to express my inner vision through various creative tools, transcending medium boundaries.
My art draws from ancient texts, personal experiences, and the universe. I'm driven by a desire to live a more authentic, compassionate life and to explore alternative paths. I take time to reflect, experimenting with colors, patterns, and textures to create immersive visual experiences.
My primary inspiration comes from ancient Indian texts, and my work encompasses portraits, mythology, human drama, and everyday scenes, set against a backdrop of ancient history in modern context.I aim to share the timeless tales of love, power, courage, and righteousness, and how they can be applied to modern life.
My visual style is influenced by Rajasthani painting, with a linear, horizontal perspective, and a touch of playfulness. I create narrative paintings that layer philosophy in a refreshed, lyrical style. The characters and environment interact with one another, but not in any manner consistent with naturalism.
Through my art, I encourage you to seek your own truth, question the norm, and embrace the unknown. I seek to inspire those finding more meaning, questioning existence, and craving poetic details in life. My art is a visual poetry for my soul, and I hope it resonates with yours.
