Ten years ago, she began a journey involving an evergreen South Indian art form: Kolams. In the process of spreading awareness of this cultural landmark, Hema Kannan began sharing her love for this art form by organizing kolam workshops, and welcoming anyone and everyone who was willing to let her take them on this journey towards self-expression. This homemaker by profession and Kolam artist by passion, a TEDx speaker, an author of a coffee table book and a Kolam teacher, is all about living life with finesse and spreading positivity. She has spoken in many webinars and online live shows, apart from judging various competition on this art.
