For Muthulakshmi Anu Narasimhan, art has always been a lifeline. Coming from a long line of artists and musicians, Anu has been painting from the moment she could hold something in her hand.  Art isn’t just an exploration of Anu’s cultural heritage or nomadic life, but has always been a way to heal her soul, find beauty in the world, and show the world that everyone can find healing in art.

And, as you’ll hear in this brief excerpt from her conversation with @farahyasmeenshaikh, when creating art, Anu hopes that art can also be a place of unexpected connection for people across the globe.
