Ravi and Emily Dhanisetty, along with their children Miles, 2, and Lilly, 6 months, are Ormond Memorial Art Museum’s featured family from the museum’s Aug. 4 Free Family Art Night event. 

"We came to Free Family Art Night on the recommendation of last month's featured family," Emily Dhanisetty said in a statement. "We will definitely be back again."

The Dhanisetty family participated in the event's activity to create portraits inspired by American painter Mary Cassatt, with whom Emily Dhanisetty shared an unexpected connection — her grandmother used to live in Cassat's former mansion in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, according to OMAM. 

The couple's daughter Lily was their "artistic inspiration" for the activity.

Ravi Dhanisetty works as a vascular surgeon at AdventHealth Daytona Beach. Emily Dhanisetty is a former asset management professional. The family has two cats. 

The museum’s Family Art Night takes place from 5:30-7 p.m. on most first Fridays of the month. All art supplies are provided, and the program is sponsored in part by the Women United Volusia Chapter.

The next program is scheduled for Sept. 1.
