Instructor

Shamli Das

@tamarindtree_shamli

A self-learned Madhubani artist, Shamli has her own take on Madhubani while maintaining the original essence of the art form. One can get easily mesmerized by the finesse, attention to detail and happiness seen in Shamli’s designs. Along with the traditional Madhubani elements such as peacock, fish and elephant, her addition of other designs such as the owl, a variety of Christmas elements and of course, the “Tamarind Tree”, truly makes her work stand out. With a keen intent to sustain the art form, Shamli also conducts workshops for Madhubani Art in Bangalore, India quite often.
