Indian Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

IMPA Mumbai had their first session at the office of the Indian Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPAI – www.imfpa.co.in) on Monday, 7th July.

The artists first worked with a teacher to create their paintings and thereafter, had a session with IMPA member, Mamta Deval. As a result of the session, they realized the importance of presenting themselves well as it will give them the confidence to showcase the beautiful paintings that they create. The passion that is reflected in their paintings should come forth when they speak about what they do. A sense of pride and a feeling of accomplishment that they are able to make such lovely designs despite their condition will provide them the motivation to keep on putting in their best effort. When they appear confident and well turned out, it will boost their morale and people will look at them with amazement and not pity. This will enable them to live their motto, “Self-help, not Charity”.
