I’m Prachi Raheja.

I believe art is a beautiful way to express, heal, and grow.
Through Art for Heart, I’ve created a space where creativity feels easy, joyful, and accessible for everyone.

Over the years, I’ve worked with children and adults to help them explore their artistic side, build confidence, and enjoy the process of creating not just the outcome.

For me, art is more than a skill  it’s a way to connect with yourself.


Let’s create something meaningful together.
