About Anu
Teaching art has given me as much satisfaction as creating art myself. Helping my students learn how to draw, paint and create comics is truly my passion. I look forward to seeing my students blossom every day, beyond their wildest dreams, and begin to exhibit art themselves. I have been blessed to be able to do this for the past 15 years, and I look forward to a lifetime of teaching art.

I always look at past work if any and I give an evaluation. I assess their strengths and challenges and work from that, so as to cut red tape. If a student excels at something, I will trust their work and help make improvements, and if they need more help, I will allow more time and explain from the very beginning. This saves time in lessons overall.
All ages and abilities.

Miss Anu is a super knowledgable and talented teacher. She has helped my daughter advance tremendously with her art. We highly recommend Miss Anu!
Anu is a wonderful teacher. Even if you don't feel like you can ever master the art of watercolor, she never doubts that you can. Anu patiently instructs you guiding you with her knowledge, explaining technique, proper proportion, shadow, and positioning. She polishes the finest of talent and for amateurs like myself, Anu brings out the possibility in you to be a creative artist, even if you never imagined it was there.
Anu has a distinct understanding of my potential and she instructs
at the same time she supports what she sees in me. She is kind and patient. I have seen work coming from myself I did not see possible.Anu is a patient and attentive instructor who takes the time to help students grasp artistic concepts. She creates beautiful original work, which illustrates her love for art, and she loves teaching, which also shows.
