Biography

Poojitha is an emerging landscape artist based in Milpitas, CA. Her work explores the quiet intersection of nature, emotion, and intuition. Through abstracted landscapes painted in gouache and oil, she creates visual meditations that invite beauty, reflection, and connection. 

Deeply inspired by her hiking journeys and the transformative power of the natural world, her paintings blend layered textures, soft lines, and expressive color to mirror her inner states of being. With a formal background in architecture, she brings a strong sense of composition, form, and spatial awareness into her art. 

Poojitha’s practice is intuitive and deeply personal, each piece a quiet conversation between inner experience and the external world. She is currently focused on building a body of work that blends personal storytelling with symbolic interpretations of landscapes, exploring themes of inner transformation, presence, and belonging. As a self-taught artist, she values experimentation and growth, sharing her process to inspire others to reconnect with their own creativity. She is passionate about cultivating a sustainable, purpose-driven art practice centered on beauty, presence, and emotional well-being.
