Every artist has a story.
Farisa Merchant’s begins with colours, classrooms, and a heart full of creativity.
A Fashion Designing graduate from MS University, Farisa grew up believing that art is not just a skill — it is a language that speaks without words. Her early years as a Primary School Teacher, Art Educator, and Art & Craft Instructor shaped her ability to see beauty in the smallest details and transform simple materials into meaningful creations.
Over the years, Farisa’s passion took a more intricate form as she stepped into the world of paper quilling — curling, shaping, and designing art that feels alive. Today she is known for her delicate paper quilling jewellery, expressive quilling paintings, and vibrant acrylic artworks that blend texture, emotion, and imagination.
But her journey didn’t end there.
Driven by the dream of empowering individuality and celebrating handcrafted fashion, Farisa launched her own creative venture: SILAI KALAKAARI — a custom boutique where every outfit is designed your way. From elegant ethnic wear to contemporary fashion pieces, she transforms your ideas into beautifully stitched, personalised garments crafted with precision and love.
With a soul rooted in art and hands skilled in design, Artist Farisa Merchant continues to create, teach, inspire, and bring creativity alive — whether through quilled paper, vibrant paint, or custom-made fashion.
