Rupal Dave is a self-taught abstract artist whose work is rooted in emotion, texture, and bold expression. Her creative journey began in the most organic way—while teaching art to children. It was through that experience that she discovered her own love for making art. She began with charcoal portraits and oil painting, gradually finding herself drawn to more abstract, experimental forms of expression.

After taking a long hiatus to raise her children, she has returned to her artistic practice with renewed energy and purpose. Her work is deeply influenced by her South Asian heritage, often reflecting the vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and rich cultural textures that shaped her upbringing. She is especially known for her love of bold, layered textures that invite deeper emotional connection.

Now, she’s not only creating art but also expanding her reach by hosting retreats and workshops designed to bring creativity into professional and team-building spaces. With a warm, intuitive approach, she’s helping others explore art as a tool for connection, growth, and self-expression.
