Shanthi Manickam is a fine artist based in Pennsylvania, dedicated to bringing the natural world into the living space of her collectors. Through contemporary realism, she creates evocative paintings in acrylics and oils, capturing the essence of nature with depth and nuance. Her art invites viewers to step inside the scene, to feel its stillness, its breath, its presence as if they were truly there.

 

She began her career as a self-taught artist and later learnt classical painting techniques from the expert artist, Randall Graham.  Her subjects are natural landscapes and florals. She exhibits her works in juried shows, member shows, art festivals, and online shows. She is a member of Pottstown Area Artist Guild.
