Christie Raju is a Coastal North Carolina–based painter exploring resonance in texture and tone—the soft interplay of material, form, and color.

Drawn to nature’s rhythms and landscapes, she works with restraint, subtlety, and balance, favoring muted, earth-based tones and sustainable materials whenever possible.

Her intentional, organic process, built through delicate, layered washes, shapes each composition into abstract works that are calm, atmospheric, and quietly present, grounding a space with understated beauty.

Onyx + Anchor is the studio through which this work is shared: an evolving practice rooted in elemental form, nature-inspired palettes, and minimalist expression.
