The Artist’s Illustrations Tackle Mental Health With A Bold And Unflinching Honesty

The weight of anxiety, depression, fear, and loneliness is something so many of us know all too well, often leaving us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. But connection—that rare and beautiful thing—can be our lifeline, and that’s exactly what Tanvi Parulkar offers through her art at Rum & Raisin Studio.

Tanvi pours her heart into every illustration, turning her deepest struggles into stories that don’t just resonate, but remind us that we’re not alone. With a unique blend of raw vulnerability and gentle humor, she invites us to embrace our pain, find moments of light within the darkness, and laugh even when it’s hard. Her creations are more than just art—they’re a testament to the strength it takes to be honest about our journey and a call to build a community where healing is possible, together.
