Manjula Raghavendra, who goes by Manju with her friends and family, comes from a small coastal town Mangalore in India.  She grew up watching her Grandfather and dad paint all hours of the day and night.  Her journey in art started by picking up a few techniques from them.  With her avid interest in nature and its abundance, love for people, connection with nature, and universal spirituality, she considers herself a joyful experimental artist.  Her art style expresses how she views the world around her.

Manjula moved to the USA in 1990, and she currently resides in Chapel Hill with her husband Girish.  She will be happy to connect with area artists and patrons.
