The artwork for this website is courtesy Los Angeles based artist and owner of Akkathangi, Prema Hampapur. An L.A. native, Prema works with acrylic paints to produce dynamic, vivid imagery of the family and education that inspired her in her youth and the goals and dreams she has for today’s youth to work toward a more just and equitable future. 100% of Akkathangi’s proceeds go toward supporting Seva Sadan, a Bangalore, India based charity that works toward education and empowerment of women and girls. Seva Sadan was avidly supported by Prema’s grandmother, Rathnama Hampapur and Prema continues to support the charity in her honor. Prema’s work can be found in her shop, Akkathangi.
