Aruna Rao is a coastal landscape painter based in Florida, creating impressionistic oil paintings that celebrate light, atmosphere, and mood.

Through her signature Shimmer Series, she captures the fleeting brilliance of coastal light — its glow across water, the shifting pulse of atmosphere, and the quiet poetry of shoreline life.

Her work is represented by established fine art galleries in the United States, including Sheldon Fine Art in Naples, FL and Thornwood Gallery in San Antonio, TX.
