ART OF ZEN DOODLING
Aneeta Malhotra, our own Indus member has graciously offered to teach us today the beautiful art of Zen Doodling. It will be an interactive workshop whereby we will be following her instructions and creating some breathtaking Zen Lettering which is her own take on the technique.
She has a Graphic design diploma and Fine arts degree from JJ School Of Arts and has also acquired new styles and techniques from several art colleges in New York.
She was privileged to paint the largest art piece ( a 300 ft x 8 ft mural), contributing to the beautification of the Mumbai Central Railway Station.
Her versatility and love for art has been channeled solely to charity whereby she has conducted several sessions for cancer therapy patients at hospitals in New York. 100% proceeds of every art piece sold in over 25 exhibitions go to charity. Specifically to laborers children who suffer from curable cancer. Aneeta always says “Every brushstroke of mine adds a heartbeat to a poor child somewhere”. This motivates her to continuously create one form of art or another.
As a Buddhist practitioner, in the last few years her focus has evolved and shifted to the art of Zen Doodling which is both therapeutic and meditative, something to ground us in the uncertain times of today.
NOTE: The outlined artwork will be sent to you in time on whatsapp to be printed out on an A4 sheet before the meeting and please keep 2 black pens ready (thin and thick).
