Welcome to

The Society of Art Explorers

An art membership for anyone who keeps wanting to paint, but can never quite make it happen.

BE AN ART EXPLORER
 

Art gets easier when you don't have to figure it out all alone.

As an artist and educator, I've watched so many people fall in love with art, only to get stuck.

 Not because they lacked talent, but because they didn't know what to focus on next. With endless tutorials online, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. 

So I created a place that makes learning simple. A space to learn, practice, ask questions, find support, and grow with fellow artists, without having to figure it all out alone.

That’s exactly why The Society of Art Explorers exists.

JOIN THE ADVENTURE

Imagine where you will be a year from now

Imagine looking back at a collection of paintings, sketchbooks, experiments, and projects that wouldn't exist if you'd kept putting your creativity on hold. 

Imagine feeling more confident in your skills.
Imagine feeling more consistent in your practice.
Imagine feeling more connected to your creativity.
Imagine having a community of artists cheering you on every step of the way.

That's what we're building here. 

One painting, one lesson, and one creative breakthrough at a time.

What's the best that could happen?

Heyy, I'm Manjari!

Artist, educator, potter, sketchbook enthusiast and enthusiastic collector of way more art supplies than any one person probably needs.

I've loved art for as long as I can remember. As a child, I instinctively went towards a set of art supplies during a family tradition and somehow that tiny moment ended up shaping my entire life.

Today, I spend my days painting, teaching, experimenting with colour and finding new ways to make creativity feel approachable and fun.

I believe art doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful and that some of the best creative moments happen when we're simply curious enough to explore.

And if there's one thing you'll learn about me quickly, its this: I really, really love colour.
