Hello There!
Welcome to my etsy shop! My name is Lakshmi Venkataramu, an engineer by profession, an artist by birth and creator by passion! Coming from a family full of enthusiastic artists and musicians, developing an interest towards art and music came naturally to me. I spent most of my childhood watching my mom paint and dad build wood structures. Following the usual path, I completed my Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and started working for a reputed semiconductor company.

After my daughter Saanvi was born, I realized how exciting it is to have a baby girl and spent most of my time in making hair accessories. Then came my discovery of sewing machine! Man O Man, did I mention fabric? I went on a sewing spree and started stitching dresses for my little one. This is when I realized that art, crafts and music is where my heart is! So quit my job and spent time in grooming myself and after a year, here I am with my etsy shop.

So you must be wondering why the name CreativeMindsA2Z right? Well, “Creative Minds” is what I came up with and "A2Z" is what my hubby could think of. According to him, I am a crazy artist who wants to try anything and everything I lay eyes on! This is truly reflected by the items in my shop; You can find a wide variety of items, from hair accessories to oil paintings to jewelry pieces. Each and every item is hand crafted with lots of passion and creativity. I hope you like them and enjoy browsing through my listings.

I have been recently diagnosed with neuropathy and it is in my hands and feet because of which when I draw or paint my hands shake sometimes and the lines might not be consistent. I hope you can understand my condition and still encourage my artwork.

If you have a special order or custom request, please feel free to message me so I can work with you to create your unique product.
