Anu Singh
Artist, Certified Zentangle teacher, Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner (Life Coach), Art workshop facilitator, Creator of hand-crafted colouring books, journals and diaries
I also teach art as a creative resource to children and adults for achieving focus and mindfulness. My oldest student has been over 90 years and youngest 4 years. I also have the experience of exposing children with dyslexia and autism to the wonderful world of art. My workshops are exciting, productive and immersive.
Currently I conduct regular offline and online workshops for corporates, universities and in schools for children and teachers.
Hand-crafted colouring books:
My passion for mental well-being has now fuelled me to create colouring books for all ages. This simple activity encourages people to relax and take care of their minds as they do of their bodies! Adults and children are going through stress and a lot of screen time.
Colouring goes beyond a fun activity, it requires the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate. While logic helps one stay inside the lines, choosing colours generates a creative process.
This simple activity is perfect for achieving focus and aids mental well-being.
These books are different from other colouring books. Each page is hand-drawn and has a powerful message that resonates. They are printed on high quality paper so that any medium from water colours to pencils and brush pens can be used to enjoy the process. They can also be gifted as frames once completed.
I have created a large book for adults with meaningful messages, a children’s book for the age group four years to twelve years that will remind them of their values and to be constantly grateful and special pocket/travel books with motivational quotes for all ages.
Hand-crafted Journal and diaries:
365 Opportunities and million reasons to be grateful!
My unique and one of a kind journals. The journals includes hand-crafted artworks with a daily powerful message promoting self-awareness and personal growth. Enjoy colouring while journaling thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This journal provides relaxation, focus, flow of creativity and a sense of accomplishment, promising a good night’s sleep. Perfect to relax and avoid screen time. My journals are a yearly process that I enjoy creating and encourage everyone to let this be their place to reflect one day at a time.
Customised commissioned colouring books and diaries:
Commissioned activity colouring book for BMW/Rolls Royce showroom in Dubai for the special children guests who walk in with parents. A project that is close to my heart as the book and the colouring activity brings joy to so many children and I know that somewhere a child is spending less time on the screen.
I also design customised diaries for corporates as per their brand and work ethics.
Hand-crafted Calendar:
Many of my clients asked me if I had plans to design a calendar. Well it had to be different! So I worked on the front with Alcoholic Ink, a medium which I really enjoy and had to plan some colouring activity right! I came up with one of my most creative ideas of adding the frames at the back of each page. I love it!
Art & Exhibitions:
My artistic journey has led me to exhibit in many locations in India and Dubai. It has been a fulfilling and enriching journey to go back to what I love the most.
One of best qualities required in an artist, and something I imbibed from my Zentangle training is to be “Fearless” while ‘Creating’. Whether Zentangle, Alcohol ink or Acrylics, I imbibe the “No Mistakes” theory and create with abandon.

No designation has brought me more joy than that of being an artist. I majored in Graphic Arts but I could not pursue my dreams of working as an artist, however this helped me to achieve milestones in the corporate world. My last role in Oman, was Director Social Media & Digital Marketing in one of the largest digital agencies. As a lifelong student of arts, I enabled companies in India and Middle East to develop imaginative advertising, web development and digital marketing concepts for 27 years. Now I utilise my training in arts, passion for creativity, NLP training and experience to achieve different and effective milestones. I am a full-time Artist, NLP master coach and certified Zentangle teacher. I also design workshops to create joy & wellbeing for all ages. I am also a creator of hand-crafted colouring books, journals and dairies for adults and children. “Life is the art of drawing without an eraser” This quote by John W. Gardner describes me as an artist and the Art & Craft workshops I design and conduct effectively.
Personal Dream:
I am a proud single mother, I worked for many years but could not pursue my dream of being an artist. I strongly believe, if you keep your dream active, one day you can make it come alive. I started my company Beyond Boxes, just a few years ago and now I work for myself and enjoy each day filled with joy and creativity. Choosing unconventional paths through lesser traveled roads has been my greatest strength, leading up to the best learning and my biggest achievements.
Workshops:
I teach important life lessons that are not spoken about in homes, schools and offices to children and adults. For example, acknowledging and handling emotions, identifying goals, optimizing team work, handling mistakes, handling stress, identifying life journeys etc. Each workshop is special as I use art as the medium for participants to understand and imbibe the lesson well. The topics can be fun or specific like awareness, environment or a particular theme that is required by an organisation. I also customise workshops as per requirements.
