Mama on Palette

Priyanka G Sarvaiya is a self taught visual artist based out of Singapore. She is the founder of Just Love Crafts and her specialisation lies with paper as the choice of medium with quilling being the preferred technique. She is the first and only artist in Singapore to gain double accreditation from both UK Quilling Guild and North American Quilling Guild. She is a mum, a vegan and when not quilling she is upcycling papers, fabrics and soda cans. Her works are imbued with sustainability at heart and a sense of calm and mindfulness.

​

Priyanka truly believes art is a beautiful soulful language to communicate and fostering connections, which drives her passion for teaching art to one and all. She has taught hundreds of individuals while collaborating with public and private organisations. At present she is the volunteer lead for Mama on Palette’s collaboration with National Library board and you can find her making art with her 5 year old in her cozy home studio. 

Driven by emotion and intuition, I express myself through embroidery and watercolour. My art provides an emotional release of sorts. I draw heavily from my own life experiences, allowing myself to authentically lift and breathe life into the work. 

My passion for volunteering ignited when I attended a volunteering camp at the age of 15. Surrounded by like-minded peers, I discovered the joy and fulfillment that comes from serving others. This camp not only sparked my commitment to community service but also paved the way for a career in the non-profit sector and education.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with young people, helping them navigate their challenges and empowering them to reach their potential. Volunteering has become a way of life for me. It is my commitment to making a positive impact, particularly in the lives of the next generation.

Danielle Poon is a Singaporean multidisciplinary artist working across mixed-media object-making, painting and photography. Her explorations begin with observations on the uncanny; drawing from natural and psychological phenomena, then presenting them through a repertoire of eclectic colours and process-driven techniques. She is keen in creating art which functions as vessels for growth and healing.

​

Danielle is a recipient of the 2022 Talent Prize Award, 2020 Ngee Ann Young Promising Artist Award, and was one of the finalists in the Angelico Art Exhibition in 2016 and 2018. She actively participates in local and international group exhibitions, including the International Juried Art Competition, and the Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition. She is a graduate of LASALLE College of the Arts, with a BA (Honours) in Fine Arts.

​

In 2024, Danielle served as the volunteer lead liaison between Mama on Palette and its alliances — Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO), Staytion Lifestyle and Peace of Art — supporting and executing project-based workshops, and art auction exhibitions for MOP members.
 

Praveena Mangipudi is the Founder of Kraftomania and artpreneur, balances my roles as a workshop instructor, small business owner and mother to an 8-year-old. As a community builder at Creative Circle SG and a member of Mama on Palette, I fosters connections, creativity, and support among artists, small business owners and mothers alike.

The joy of being a designer lies in the ability to spread happiness. Crafting customized jewelry or curating thoughtful hampers allows me to create special moments for others. Knowing that my work brings joy to someone's life fills me with immense satisfaction and energizes me for each new day.

Mama on Palette nurtures my artistic side, offering a supportive community where I thrive. Engaging in diverse events, I immerse myself in creativity, finding inspiration and connection. It's a space where I embrace my identity as both a mother and an artist, fostering growth and fulfillment.

Within MOP's synergistic embrace, Shabri, a mother of 2, finds encouragement to explore new techniques, share insights, and celebrate the joys and challenges of balancing artistry with motherhood. Shabri has taken part in various events like "I am a Mother" art exhibition, Beyond the Label Mental Health festival, community mural painting at Kampong Chai Chee etc. Her most recent volunteering project is guiding a group of Ngee Ann polytechnic students to conduct a research on postpartum depression (PPD).

"MOP has touched the hearts of many in the community through various programs. Positivity and enthusiasm in MOP community is contagious. MOP has proved that art has the power to unite and uplift across generations and backgrounds."
