MEET THE FOUNDER

Hello! My name is Avni Sriram.

I am currently a senior at The Quarry Lane School. Growing up, I always enjoyed creating art with my mom and brother, and have been playing the piano for more than thirteen years. Over these years, I've learned to express myself through artistic mediums confidently and creatively.
​
Motivated to make a meaningful difference, I founded the 501 (c)(3) non-profit Art from Heart, a platform where young individuals like me can use their talents to benefit the community. Through this initiative, we not only develop our own skills but also use our creativity in projects that inspire, connect, and benefit those around us. The dual focus on purposeful creativity and personal growth is at the core of everything we do.
​
We've partnered with many local and national organizations to give back to meaningful causes. Whether we’re hosting local events, organizing art contests, raising awareness, bringing music and cultural dance performances to seniors, creating handmade cards for hospitalized kids or elders, seeing the smiles on people's faces has shown us just how powerful creative giving can be.

I hope you feel inspired to make art and share your creativity to bring joy to someone today!

 

I invite you to join our mission.
