💫 About Shubhada

Founder & Creative Director, ANFS Studio, LLC
formerly Art ’n Fun with Shubhs

 

Hi, I’m Shubhada—an artist, teacher, and believer that everyone has a creative spark just waiting to shine.

 

I moved to the U.S. in 2003 to pursue a master’s in computer science and spent the next two decades immersed in the tech world—first at Microsoft for 13 years, then at a startup, and most recently at Starbucks Technology as a Product Manager. While I thrived in those roles, art was always my happy place. During long workdays and high-pressure projects, painting became my way to recharge, reflect, and stay mentally balanced.

 

Over time, I realized that the joy I found in art was something I wanted to share. That’s how ANFS Studio was born—a space where creativity meets community, and where people of all ages can explore the joy of making art without judgment or pressure.

 

I work with kids, beginners, and anyone curious about picking up a brush. My workshops and weekly classes are designed to be playful, inclusive, and deeply refreshing. Whether it’s a bold splash of paint or a carefully detailed masterpiece, every creation is celebrated. We laugh, we experiment, and we connect—through color, imagination, and shared joy.

 

This site is my way of sharing that journey—showcasing my own work, the incredible art made by my students, and the joyful moments we create together. I hope it inspires you to pick up a brush, try something new, and let your creativity flow
