MANJU PARKAVI

OPENING RECEPTION ON FRIDAY, JULY 19TH AT 6:30 PM


Join us for a special pop-up exhibition featuring local artist, Manju Parkavi! Manju’s paintings and drawings capture the beauty of human experience through the lens of culture and femininity.

“I am Manju, a budding and versatile artist passionate about portraiture. My artworks reflect my unique perspective and capture what I observe. Over the years, I have explored various mediums, but my favorites are colored pencils and oil paints.”

“One of my proudest achievements is a 2'6" portrait of my husband & my kid. Recently, I completed a commissioned 5' oil portrait, which has become another favorite. Each day, I see my artistic growth, driven by my dedication to what I love and my continuous effort to improve.”

“The abundance of art supplies available today makes choosing a preferred medium challenging. Initially, my art journey began with a simple pencil from my work desk. From those humble beginnings, my interest grew, leading me to self-learn and evolve into a hyper-realistic artist using colored pencils. Gradually, I experimented with different mediums and ultimately found comfort and proficiency in oils and colored pencils.”
