Very personable to work with. Very professional. Very caring gal. The calligraphy was done perfectly —the framing too. Great job done
Thank you Wendy, it was great working with you dear!
Purchased a print and it came out great, it captures the contours of an oil painting well. Raghda was great to speak with, and helped me with frame suggestions. Will be looking for her at the next Art-A-Whirl.
I met Raghda at a fair and I worked with her to create a portrait of my dog as a special gift for my wife. She perfectly captured his likeness and gave us a special piece of art that we can treasure forever!
It was delightful working with you Matt and creating something special for you and Lauren ❤️
I had an amazing experience learning oil painting with Raghda! She is incredibly talented, patient, and such a wonderful teacher. Her guidance made the entire process enjoyable and inspiring, no matter your skill level. The studio atmosphere is perfect, relaxing, welcoming, and the ideal place to let your creativity flourish. Raghda creates such a positive environment that makes you feel comfortable experimenting and learning. Highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring oil painting or growing as an artist!
It was wonderful having you dear, and I’m so glad that you had enjoyed the painting workshop. I hope to see you again.
Did oil painting after years, it was a good experience. She is a good teacher, explaining each step, helping along and encouraging everyone.
It was great having you Naveed and I’m happy that you had the chance to paint after all these years and I’m looking forward to seeing you again and to see your creativity bloom once again.
Raghda made the most beautiful placecards for our wedding. She was professional and kind to work with and even was able to turn them around quickly for me. Our guests were so impressed and they were the perfect addition to our special day. Thank you so much Raghda!
Courtney, it was wonderful working with you and I’m so happy that you loved the place cards 🥰
Raghda's calligraphy is beautiful. AAUW St Paul had been looking for a calligrapher for a long time to add the names of our recent past Presidents to a framed listing of all our Presidents. Our current President saw Raghda's work at a local art fair, and realized we had finally found the right artist. We took the piece to her Calli Art Studio, and Raghda added the names to the list and was so careful to match the style and arrangement of the earlier names. Lovely and accomplished calligraphy, and Raghda is a delight. Thank you so much.
Margaret, it was an absolute honor to update the AAUW St Paul President List and working with you.
I joined a few friends to do a painting class with Ragda. I was a little intimidated at first as I don’t paint. Ragda started out showing us a beautiful painting , that we were going to recreate. She gave us step by step instructions and lo and behold , we recreated that beautiful landscape , in our own unique ways. It was the most fun and constructive painting class I have ever attended. I highly recommend this class for a solo or group outing. If you go alone , you will definitely end up making friends , as Ragda creates such a nice relaxed atmosphere!
Alia, thank you so much for joining the painting workshop and I'm just so glad that you enjoyed it as much as I did :-) You've created a beautiful piece and you should create more! I am looking forward to seeing you again in future workshops.
We first saw Raghda’s beautiful artwork at a local art festival. We contacted her through her studio, The Calli Art Studio, and she promptly responded to make arrangements to pickup the piece. Raghda’s original oil painting has completely transformed our dining room into a space of elegance and inspiration. It’s clear that Raghda poured her talent and heart into this work. The painting not only complements our decor but also adds warmth and sophistication to the room. Guests often comment on its beauty, and it always sparks delightful conversations. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have such a stunning piece of art in our home—thank you, Raghda, for sharing your extraordinary gift with us!
Jonathan, thank you for being a valued collector and I'm so glad to know that my art will be cherished and loved in its new home :-)
Wonderful evening of painting - in every way! Raghda is such a kind and patient teacher, her passion shines through in her lesson and guidance. She helped me create my own little masterpiece, shared laughs, and left feeling warm and excited to do it again one day! Everyone needs to experience a night with Calli Art!
Thank you Aisha for kind words. It was wonderful having you and I’m looking forward to seeing you again at The Calli Art.
