Ceo / Host
My name is Priya Tamang S. I was born and raised in Nepal and moved to the United States with my family when I was 11 years old. We arrived knowing no one, and together we learned how to adjust to a completely new way of life. Ever since I was a child, I've been deeply curious about the world around me. I've always loved nature, and I've been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. Art has always been my way of expressing myself and connecting with others. I've also always felt a deep connection to all living beings.
One of the greatest blessings in my life was being welcomed by the Suarez family, who embraced me as one of their own. I am forever grateful for the love they showed me and for introducing me to their home, their Puerto Rican culture, history, traditions, food, and hospitality. Their kindness became an important part of my journey. Casapri Paint & Sip is inspired by both my Nepali and Puerto Rican roots. My mission is to bring people together through art, music, nourishing food, herbal drinks, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences.
No matter your skin color. No matter your nationality. No matter your age. No matter your culture. No matter what food you eat or what city you call home. we all share our humanity. We all seek love. We all want to be cherished. We all deserve respect. We all want to feel seen, valued, and worthy. We belong to one human family
