About Me

Hi! I'm Jhanavi Jupudi, a recent graduate from the University of California, Irvine, where I majored in Art and minored in Digital Arts. I am originally from Sacramento, California, and I spent my childhood in the Bay Area.

My artistic journey began as a self-taught artist, working with acrylic paints, pen drawings, and watercolors. At UCI, I expanded my horizons by diving into digital art, Adobe Creative Suite, exploring 3D modeling in Blender, and experimenting with new mediums, such as performance art and photography.

My passion lies in digital arts and animation, where I am eager to explore movement and storytelling in my work. Having lived with chronic pain for over a decade, I strive to incorporate meaningful themes into my art, balancing serious topics with a touch of humor to make them more approachable.

Through my art, I aim to blend personal experiences with universal themes, connecting with others who can relate. I am excited to continue my journey in animation and digital arts, pushing boundaries and bringing stories to life.
