Back to writing!.....by Indian artist Manisha Vedpathak

 Back to Writing – After a Beautifully Busy Break

The last time I wrote a blog post was back in 2023. Since then, life has been a whirlwind—beautifully busy with all things art.

I launched my YouTube channel, starting with a special series titled Art in Healthcare, where I interviewed eight insightful doctors. Their thoughts on how artwork positively impacts healing spaces truly deepened my belief in the power of art. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@manishavedpathakartist

Soon after, I took my first steps into the world of art business. I joined BNI (Business Network International), a global networking platform, which opened doors to connecting with potential clients and understanding the business side of art. Though I haven’t officially registered my business yet, I’ve been laying the foundation with all the initial steps.

One of the biggest milestones was finally setting up my own studio—a long-overdue dream. It has made client meetings smoother and given me the space to showcase and speak about my work more effectively. I will post some pics of the studio in my next post.

Amidst all this, I continued working with my wonderful curation team. Together, we hosted another vibrant group exhibition titled “Tell Me a Story,” featuring nearly 40 talented artists. The event spanned three days filled with creativity, connections, and community.

Community Work for the exhibition

This year began on a high note with a large painting project for a resort—almost 60 artworks of various sizes created just for the space. In between, I’ve also been working on commissioned pieces and fulfilling client requests.

Oh, and I must mention—I got my website up and running just before I joined BNI. Another step forward that I’m truly proud of.

Honestly, with everything happening, I simply couldn’t find the time to write. But I’ve missed it. So here I am again, promising myself (and you!) to write more regularly—if not daily, then at least weekly.

Thanks for reading, and see you next week!

 I had been quite busy last two months and my precious blog left neglected. We had our big festival of lights, Diwali but before that I completed 8 mixed media paintings which I had to submit for a virtual art fair. Then travelled to Netherlands to attend Graduation ceremony of my younger daughter. Coming back got busy with my house painting. We are still in the process right now but today I found a quite place in my room to post .
