Manasi Arya @artwithmanasi is a Special Education teacher, currently pursuing her Masters in Special Education. Influenced by her mother who is also an artist, Manasi grew up around art and art supplies. Joining a growing community of digital artists, Manasi decided to start her IG account a few years ago to share various paintings and her stories. Within a year, she embraced an opportunity to start a small business and began more digital art as well. Using her art and platform to create a voice for other women, with a focus on South Asians, Manasi's desire and intent is to spark positive conversations through art.
