Aruna Rao paints coastal light—its shimmer on water, and its shift at the edge of day, often felt through quiet moments of human presence.

Light and atmosphere are experienced along the shore as shifting, lived moments—each painting centering on a specific quality of light, how it moves, gathers, and briefly holds, before passing.

Her Shimmer Series is represented by Sheldon Fine Art (Naples, FL and Newport, RI) and Thornwood Gallery (San Antonio, TX).
