Art is a feeling, thought, an emotion and works of art create powerful and deep emotions in us whenever we hear of a cause that we either relate to what we feel or think or that touches us in some way, a similar emotional chord is struck within, since emotion and creating art are very much related. As an artist one can channel the emotion felt about the cause into their art to come up with creative, heartfelt art work.

It can be any medium used or technique and methodology followed, the emotion put into creating art work transfers to the viewer and keeps on generating that awareness of feeling and emotion for years to come, not to mention how much it motivates and encourages to create more and to spread the meaning of good cause, kindness, compassion,inspiration to create more, giving and sharing through art.

With this as the basis, Artist and art educator Lakshmi Shankarreddyhas been conducting art shows and art show fundraisers for non-profit organizations in California like Colorful Minds, Small Steps Foundation and LPCH Stanford

Lakshmi Shankarreddy also teaches and guides her students to create art and displaying their art works. She teaches her students the values of creating art for a good cause and the joy of sharing by displaying for others to enjoy art and art appreciation, thereby teaching the values of creating and sharing art for a good cause.

In her own words – “I am inspired constantly by beauty of nature and to make Art. Art is my passion and an essential part of my life. There has never been anything else I wanted to be or do. My muses are many – Kindness, Compassion, Nature, Indian mythology, food, festivals, family, friends and most importantly creating art for a good cause.”
