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

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).
