Zuju was born and raised in Hyderabad, India. Marriage brought her to England in the early ‘60s. Here Zuju qualified initially as 3-dimensional designer and has designed furniture, ceramics, jewellery and clothes.

A period in Iran and Brussels exposed her to different aspects of Art, Culture and Food. She ran a restaurant in Wimbledon after writing a book on Indian food for Hamlyn’s.

To Zuju art is a juxtaposition of reality and imagination, so it was an easy progression from three-dimensional work into painting. For her painting is a very liberating experience, especially the use of mixed media. Since taking up art seriously she has worked in a variety of media. The subjects of her paintings have mainly been abstract and semi-abstract. She has exhibited both in Surrey and India.
