Positano Beckons and A Bohemian Wedding

Hello Monday! I have the perfect images to shake off those Monday blues! We are heading to Positano, Italy for a chic bohemian wedding! I first travelled to Positano and the Amalfi coast 14 years ago and fell in love with it! Last year, I chose to go back there to celebrate my 40th birthday :) It was the perfect family vacation! 

You can understand my reason for sharing these exquisite wedding pictures of Kristin O' Neill and Brett Shapiro! Kristin is the co founder of the clothing Porter Grey!

Sigh....It does look like the perfect day in Positano......

Art By Aarti Karwayun

An explosion of color, beauty and tradition is how I would describe Aarti Karwayun's art! Aarti is a fine art graduate from Jaipur. She used to be a visual merchandiser in fashion retail. She is now an independent artist. I have admired Aarti's work for years.  So I am delighted to feature her on My Dream Canvas :)

I love vintage art, restorations, and objects that exude old world charm. Aarti's work brings together all of these in a very unique way! Her art can find a place in any space be it modern or traditional! 

I asked Aarti to share a few thoughts about her work and this is what she had to say...

"As a person, as an artist, I aim to be totally and completely one with who I am and what I do.....Being. Creating. Loving.
Art for me is the most profound tool of expression that comes with infinite freedom and responsibility. It comes from a deep place and it touches people on many levels ....and creates many emotions. Art is a creation that can evoke responses with enormous possibilities of what, how and why? 

In this small journey as an artist, I have explored as much as I can, and therefore take up various kinds of commissioned work to challenge myself and stretch my own boundaries. My  work is distinctly Indian in style and appeal and is available in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore in India.
Following my deepest calling and love for art and life, I wish to create, touch, and spread oneness and love."

Aarti has beautifully articulated her passion and commitment! I admire her immense creative talent and the one of a kind designs!

To know more about Aarti visit her website http://www.ispaceart.com. You can connect with her via Facebook.

Feast your eyes on her creations.......














Aarti's stunning artwork below hangs proudly in my family room! It has caught the eye of almost everyone who has visited my home :) This piece is part of the Fearless Collective series.  The series is an art project that focuses artistic talent to help spread the cause of women!


I hope you have enjoyed this post! Aarti would love to hear your comments.  Thanks a ton Aarti for sharing your work and your thoughts with the readers of My Dream Canvas! Here's wishing you all the best today and always! 

Happy Monday Folks!!
