Imaginative Storyteller
from Assam, India.

My art weaves unconventional narratives from reality and nature. Through paper mache puppets, character designs, sculptures, and wearable craft, I create whimsical worlds that heal and transform.

As a Fearless Ambassador 2026, I explore parallel ecologies in Sri Lanka. I run kids programmes and specialized sessions for unconscious exploration through art, fostering emotional healing and self-discovery.

Where making meets meaning.

YOBO is a platform for artists, thinkers, and community voices. We host workshops, exhibitions, and conversations that bridge art with social and environmental action.

Children's Art Workshops

Drawing, painting, paper sculpture, and storytelling sessions for ages 5 to 15. Small groups, real materials, no templates. Children learn to observe, imagine, and create from their own experience of the world around them.

Ages 5 to 15 · Sundays at YOBO Studio, Guwahati

Adult Drawing & Watercolour

Structured sessions for adults who want to develop observational drawing, watercolour technique, and mixed media practice. No experience needed. We begin with seeing, then mark making, then building confidence.

Adults · Weekday evenings & weekends

Recycled Art & Assemblage

Transform discarded objects into sculpture and wall pieces. Learn to see creative potential in everyday waste. These workshops also run as team building sessions for corporate groups seeking meaningful creative experience.

All ages · Corporate & community groups welcome

School & Institutional Programs

Multi session art programs designed for schools and educational institutions. Curriculum aligned, ecology focused workshops that connect art making with environmental awareness and cultural heritage.

Propose a Collaboration

What collaborators say.

Namrata's ability to translate ecological research into visual narratives that move people is rare. Her installations do not just hang on walls; they change how you see the land you walk on.
Curator & Cultural Collaborator
The children in her workshops come home different. Not just with art, but with stories, with observations about birds and rivers and things they never noticed before. She teaches seeing.
Parent, YOBO Workshop Participant
We commissioned a mural for our office and the process was extraordinary. She researched the site, the neighbourhood ecology, and created something that belongs specifically to this building and nowhere else.
Business Owner, Guwahati

Let us make
something together.

Whether you are a gallery seeking new voices, a school wanting meaningful art education, a business commissioning site specific work, or a residency program open to ecological storytelling.
