About Me
IT professional| Web developer & designer | Site supervisor |  Art Instructor|  Tutor

Hello! I'm Priya, owner and instructor at Aakriti Creative Center in Austin. Inspired by my vibrant upbringing in India and successful art teaching in California (Fremont/Pleasanton/Austin), I'm excited to create a space here for students of all ages to explore their artistic potential and share a love for art!

My Education and experience:
My journey to art is unique! Combining biology, multimedia, early childhood education, and fine art with my IT experience and inspiring work with special needs children, I offer a stimulating and enriching creative space for all backgrounds. Let's explore art together!
My Passions:
For me, art is more than a hobby – it's a lifelong inspiration, transforming the ordinary into the expressive. This passion drives me to share the joy of creation and ignite your artistic spark!
Why Art ?
Art is for everyone, a language beyond words to express feelings, explore thoughts, and see beauty. Whether you're skilled or new, creating art is a joyful journey of self-discovery and emotional release. Come explore your therapeutic creativity!
What your kids will learn:
From sketching to watercolor and oil on various surfaces – allowing you to express yourself, explore ideas, and see everyday beauty. Whether you're a beginner or budding artist, find joy and self-discovery through creating, connecting, and finding the artist within!
My previous ART Experience:
For over 20 years, my art passion has thrived through exhibiting my work and, even more rewarding, sparking creativity in students. Seeing them excel in competitions and later use their skills in college presentations highlights the lasting impact of art education.
