- In the fast-paced world of technology, where algorithms and codes often dictate our professional paths, there are individuals like Ami who dare to break free from the conventional and pursue their true passions. Ami, a self-taught mixed media artist, shares her inspiring journey of transitioning from a background in IT to a fulfilling career in the world of art.
Discovering the Passion Amidst a Pandemic:
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many to reevaluate their lives, and for Ami, it became a catalyst for rediscovering her long-buried passion for art. Despite holding degrees in IT and an MBA with an IT specialization, she decided to follow her heart and delve into the world of creativity.
Ami’s artistic journey began modestly in 2017 when she co-founded “Crafty_Gifts_Decor,” an Instagram handle where she and her friend showcased and sold handmade jewelry, rakhis, and various craft products. However, it was during the pandemic that she truly immersed herself in the art world, creating the Instagram handle @artistry_ami to explore and share her artistic endeavors.
Mandalas and the Artistic Exploration:
Ami’s artistic exploration led her to the enchanting world of Mandala art, a form characterized by intricate patterns and designs. Armed with a simple black pen and paper, she began creating her own unique patterns and participating in Mandala art contests on Instagram. While initial setbacks in competitions caused moments of doubt, Ami used them as stepping stones for improvement, learning from other artists and honing her craft.
Diversifying Artistic Horizons:
Ami’s artistic journey didn’t stop with Mandala art. She expanded her repertoire by delving into the mesmerizing world of Calligraphy, a form of lettering that captivated her. Through online tutorials and relentless practice, she mastered the art and even started conducting workshops for beginners both online and offline.
Her artistic curiosity didn’t end there. Ami explored various mediums like watercolors, gouache, and acrylics, conducting workshops to share her knowledge. Her passion for crafting, nurtured since childhood, blossomed into a small business where she customized products like greeting cards, scrapbooks, albums, envelopes, cake toppers, banners, and more.
Resilience Amid Challenges:
Despite societal and familial skepticism about the viability of an artistic career, Ami remained focused on her dream. Challenges became opportunities for growth, and criticism fueled her determination to prove that pursuing one’s passion is a worthy and fulfilling endeavor.
Her venture into Resin art, creating intricate keychains, coasters, and resin clocks, showcased her dedication to learning and exploring new artistic realms. Ami’s story is a testament to the resilience required to pursue one’s dreams, especially in the often underestimated field of art.
Ami’s journey from an IT professional to a thriving mixed media artist is a beacon for those yearning to follow their true calling. Her story illustrates that a fulfilling career is not confined to traditional paths and that pursuing one’s passion can lead to unparalleled personal and professional satisfaction. As Ami continues to explore, create, and inspire, her story serves as a reminder that there is always room to pursue what truly ignites the soul, no matter the obstacles along the way.
