About the Author
The Portrait Painter's Guide comes from 2022, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 25 and still producing arts & creativity work with no clear path to publication. Arts and creativity writing from someone whose own practice — 1,500+ books, 44+ million words, 37+ genres — is itself a case study in sustained creative output.
