Rupy C. Tut (born c. 1985 – c. 1986) is an Indian-born American visual artist. She specializes in Indian miniature paintings. Tut is based in Oakland, California.

Early life and education

Tut's grandparents were displaced during the Partition of India.[1] She was born in Chandigarh[2] and lived in the state of Punjab in India until her family relocated to Southern California in the United States when she was eleven or twelve.[3][4]

In 2006, she graduated from UCLA with a degree in evolutionary and ecological biology and a minor in South Asian studies. She then attended Loma Linda University, graduating with a master's in global health in 2009. She married, and in 2011, moved to the Bay Area.[3]

Artwork

While applying for jobs in public health, Tut began painting[3] and studied traditional Pahari painting from 2016 to 2021. She makes her own pigments and uses hemp paper or linen.[4] Her work focuses on women, heritage, and the natural world.[5]

Tut's paintings have been displayed at various institutions, including the De Young Museum and the Asian Art Museum.[6] She has had solo shows at the Triton Museum of Art, the Jessica Silverman gallery, and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco.[3][5]
