Dr. Roopali Khanna

Art & Calligraphy

I'm Dr. Roopali, the founder and director of KS Art & Calligraphy Studio in Agra. My journey took a creative turn when I transitioned from being a lecturer, holding a Ph.D. in English, to pursuing my passion as a full-time artist. To further refine my artistic skills, I completed a bridge course in Bachelors of Fine Arts, which has allowed me to explore and express creativity in new dimensions.

As a multi-dimensional artist, I am dedicated to bringing the beauty of art and calligraphy to life. I specialize in various modern and traditional scripts in Devanagari and Western calligraphy styles. At my studio, I offer a variety of fine art courses and calligraphy workshops. I also provide live calligraphy and engraving services for corporate events, weddings, and special occasions, bringing a unique and elegant touch to each event, along with personalized paint parties.

Being featured among the top 50 Indian calligraphers in Karnataka Magazine's 'Art Affairs' has been a proud moment in my journey. I’m excited to share my passion and expertise with you through my artistic offerings.
