When Nidhi Chanani decided she was going to be an artist, she knew her work had to make people happy. Her illustrations, [*Everyday Love*][1], are inspired by the simple things in life. An elderly couple looking over the horizon, cuddling, reading with a loved one or even having a pillow fight. Born in Calcutta, Chanani, is concerned that, with our hectic lives, we forget what is truly important. “There are so many distractions in a day, that sometimes we forget to pause and look around. I believe that beauty is everywhere. We are surrounded by it,” says Chanani. Her work is making a difference. In 2012, the San Francisco-based illustrator was recognized by the White House as a [Champion of Change][2]. Next time, someone you care about wants to go for a walk, see it as a sign of everyday love.
