Testimonials
“Our family took private painting and drawing lessons for 2 years from Dr Kamlika Chandla. We found the experience most rewarding as Kamlika shared with us her immense knowledge in a way that was professional, systematic, detailed, analytical, but also warm, and personalized to our individual needs, interests, talents and pace. As a result our abilities increased exponentially and our joy of the arts was renewed in a profound way. In the past I had taken classes from famous places and my wife has a college degree in a design field. Kamlika's instruction far surpassed what we had learned before and made a huge positive difference to our art journey. We recommend her with the highest possible enthusiasm!!!”

“Our daughter loves learning from Mrs. Kamlika! The technique and pencil mastery she has developed is very unique for her age. Mrs. Kamlika is so patient and thoughtful and fun! Our daughter is so excited each time she has the opportunity to work with Mrs. Kamlika.”

“Kamlika knows so much about art history and techniques of different artists. It's great to go through an art museum with her! She also painted a beautiful portrait of our beloved cat, Callie. Kamlika has consistently throughout the years taken master classes in portrait painting and is committed to learning in pursuit of excellence.”

“My daughter had taken some art classes elsewhere for a while, but since she took a class from Kamlika, she has enthusiastically changed to Kamlika's lessons. I think she appreciates Kamlika's professional/classical approach to art instruction. She says she likes Kamlika's lessons for these reasons: you get to do your own projects, and Kamlika will help you with them, in a kind way. Kamlika really encourages you to think about how you can improve your artwork. She gives a lot of helpful hints, but not too many. Class time is quiet and focused.”

“I was looking for a unique end of the year gift for my esteemed clients and Kamlika created such a fine master copy of the Van Gogh Sunflowers. It was a beautiful piece of art and my clients were very pleased to receive them. I would do it again.

“Our oldest daughter has been drawn to the arts for as long as we can remember and discovered a passion for painting in particular during middle school. We searched for an opportunity for her to pursue this passion outside of school and had Kamlika's studio recommended to us. In the three years that our daughter has studied painting with Kamlika, her interest and skill have blossomed. She has learned so much and feels so encouraged and supported as both an artist and young woman. Her time in Kamlika's studio is a cherished respite from the stresses of academics, technology and social dynamics. We could not be more grateful for Kamlika's gentle, skilled mentorship of our budding artist!”

“Kamlika Chandla is single-handedly one of the most talented, intelligent, and kind human beings I know. Her dedication to not only her students, but her own work, is admirable, and shows that hard work results in a fruitful life. Her vast knowledge of both the literary and the arts world is unparalleled to other teachers, and every one of my classes is comprised of compelling conversations, where I learn more than how to simply paint. She is a force to be reckoned with, and I am beyond lucky to have her as a teacher.”

Kamlika Chandla is a friend to many, but none quite so much as to the world of expressive art. In words, in form, color, and canvas, Kamlika captures the essence of being human in a world of diverse beauty. A small commission, a painting of a loved one, graces my home. With eyes that speak to mine, and a familiar subtle smile, her work lives with me in perpetuity and gratitude.

“I was able to attend one of Kamlika’s recent art showings. What an amazing talent! She has a unique ability to move seamlessly across painting, drawing and sculpture. I look forward to enjoying additional pieces of Kamlika’s art as she continues her journey.”

“Kamlika Chandla is talented in so many ways. I’ve been so fortunate to watch her progress from her bright undergraduate years to now, when she is a successful artist of paints, sculpture, and more. We are lucky enough to have two of her beautiful paintings, both absolutely accurate portraits of our beloved cats. I’m sure this is not the end of our Chandla collection!”
