Kajal is an artist, educator, writer, and advocate of value-based holistic learning. With over two decades of experience in art education, creative facilitation, and personal development, she believes that art is far more than a skill—it is a way of seeing, understanding, and engaging with life.
Throughout her journey as an artist and teacher, Kajal has worked with learners of all ages, helping them develop not only creative confidence but also deeper self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mindful observation. Her work is rooted in the belief that creativity is not reserved for artists alone; it is an essential human capacity that helps us navigate relationships, challenges, growth, and everyday life with greater presence and meaning.
A graduate of the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Art, Kajal has spent years exploring the intersections of art, mindfulness, conscious living, emotional healing, and human connection. Her experiences as an educator, visual artist, and lifelong learner have shaped the philosophy behind this book.
Stop Looking, Start Seeing is her invitation to readers to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the beauty, creativity, and wisdom hidden within ordinary moments. Through personal stories, artistic insights, reflective exercises, and practical observations, she encourages others to cultivate a richer relationship with themselves, their surroundings, and the world around them.
When she is not teaching, writing, or creating art, Kajal enjoys visiting museums, observing nature, exploring meaningful conversations, maintaining her gratitude practice, and seeking inspiration in everyday life.
She lives and works in Mumbai, where she continues to create, teach, write, and inspire others through the transformative power of art and mindful living.
