Rajita Tippavajhala

Hey You!

I was born and raised in India, and after an undergraduate degree in Electronics Engineering, I moved to the United States for a Masters in Finance. In all those years, painting had been my constant companion through the highs and lows. And my search for true fulfillment led to me becoming a full-time artist in 2018. Primarily painting in oils, I concentrated on figurative painting and portraits. Since becoming a mother in January 2019, the little human took center-stage and creating became even more important as I fought to have my own identity. I now paint with intention and am interested in telling a story with each painting. Stories of strength, courage and vulnerability! My oil painting education is the result of studying extensively from artists - Alyssa Monks, Zoey Frank, Peter Van Dyck, Sean Cheetham etc. I am most influenced and inspired by my mentor and teacher Mia Bergeron at Townsend Atelier in Chattanooga, TN. Currently, I live and work out of my home studio in Alpharetta, Georgia
