Manjusha Gupta

My name is Manjusha, and I’m a beginner artist in California. After my teaching job, the next thing I enjoy is doing art. I recently picked up Lippan art on my trip to India. After my trip, I gathered the basic supplies and completed my first art piece in white. After that, there was no stopping. I like playing with color and incorporating other art styles into my Lippan art projects. I have blended Pichwai, Warli, and Mandala with Lippan so far. My goal is to preserve this ancient Indian art form and pass it on to the next generation. I also do customized artwork according to people’s needs. My work is also available on Amazon.

Artist Statement

Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:

Art, for me, is a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection. Through the intricate beauty of Lippan Art, the meditative patterns of Mandala Art, and the luminous elegance of Resin Art, I create pieces that inspire joy, mindfulness, and a sense of belonging.

My work is deeply inspired by traditional craftsmanship while embracing contemporary design. Each creation reflects patience, intention, and attention to detail, transforming everyday spaces into places of beauty and inspiration. Whether I am sculpting textured Lippan murals, painting intricate mandalas, or preserving color and light through resin, my goal is to create art that tells a story and evokes emotion.

Beyond creating artwork, I am passionate about sharing the creative process with others. I regularly host hands-on workshops in my home studio and at community events, where people of all ages and skill levels can explore their artistic potential in a welcoming and supportive environment. These workshops are more than art classes—they are opportunities to relax, connect, build confidence, and experience the joy of creating something meaningful with your own hands.

I believe that art has the power to bring people together, preserve cultural traditions, and encourage self-expression. Through every piece I create and every workshop I lead, I hope to inspire others to embrace creativity, celebrate individuality, and discover the happiness that comes from making art.
