About the Artist

Learn about Asia and create original artwork mindfully! Surapsari ("Sari") Megumi Fujimaru grew up in Japan, lived in Bali, and studied holistic wellness in India. She is a certified teaching artist and has taught at K-12 schools, libraries, and other educational venues for 20 years. As the former Education Specialist at the Asian American Resource Center (City of Austin), Sari designed, directed, and taught the 8-week Creative Mindfulness Youth Camp, where one hundred 6 to 10-year-old day campers enjoyed Asia-themed mindful arts. She shares her experience and knowledge with classroom teachers in her professional learning program, Introduce Mindfulness into Your Classroom. In addition to teaching at public venues and online, Sari offers workshops at her private retreat facility in Driftwood.
