The cover star for the August Edition volume 1 of Namya Magazine is Reena Sketcher.Reena hails from a small village called Narsara Bishanpur, Darbhanga, Bihar. She always studied in a Hindi medium school. Her mother once said, “Not everyone succeeds in studies, one day you will become a great person.” Hearing this from her mother gave her strength and she tried taking the exam again, but unfortunately didn’t succeed.
She went into depression and lost interest in studying. Suddenly on August 20, 2018, her attention was caught by a picture of Lord Shiva (Bholebaba) and she wanted to paint that exact picture. She only had a pencil, and she used to spend the whole day from morning to evening drawing it. When her family saw the final result, they praised her for her efforts a lot and said it was immensely beautiful.Then she thought about making a career in arts rather than academics. She started painting in September 2018, at that time she didn’t possess any art materials or much knowledge, but still she started working with few materials and joined social media. Initially, she didn’t know how to use a phone or social media, nor did she know how to shoot videos. Despite this, she joined social media and uploaded her paintings, and faced many problems. No one could help her because no one in her family was from the art field. She realized that she had to do everything alone. She shot video herself and corrected her mistakes. After many years, she gained 32.6kfollowers and 12k subscribers onYouTube due to her talent. After 7years of hard work, she now runs her online classes and has started getting some customized work.
