Christie Raju is a Coastal North Carolina–based creative exploring resonance through texture, tone, and restraint. Working in mineral-inspired palettes and earthen pigments, her compositions reflect a modern sensibility — quiet, grounded, and contemplative.

Her practice moves across a range of forms — from layered, atmospheric washes to intentional mark-making to work built directly from natural materials found along the coast — each guided by the same underlying restraint: a simplicity meant to slow the mind while grounding a space. The result is earthy, minimal work with a quiet endurance of its own.

Onyx + Anchor is the studio through which this work is shared: an evolving practice inspired by the landscape of the Carolinas, rooted in nature, organic form, and understated beauty.
