Sunaina Khandelwal is an artist, educator, and the Founder & Creative Director of Brush & Bloom, a community-focused art studio based in Vancouver, BC. Originally from India, Sunaina holds a Master of Fine Art degree from the University of the Arts London, UK. Her creative practice has always been rooted in the belief that art has the power to bring people together, foster meaningful connections, and create spaces where people feel seen, inspired, and empowered to express themselves.

​

Through Brush & Bloom, Sunaina creates welcoming, beginner-friendly art experiences that celebrate creativity, culture, community, and well-being. From painting workshops and creative socials to collaborative community events, her goal is to make art accessible to everyone—regardless of age, background, or artistic experience. Drawing inspiration from her multicultural journey across India, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, Sunaina's work is deeply influenced by themes of identity, belonging, storytelling, and cultural exchange. She believes creativity can act as a bridge between people, helping individuals connect not only with art, but also with themselves and their communities.

​

Today, Sunaina focuses on building creative experiences that encourage connection, spark conversation, and inspire joy. Through Brush & Bloom, she hopes to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive creative community where people can slow down, create with intention, and leave feeling more connected than when they arrived.
