Rupy C. Tut (born c. 1985 – c. 1986)[1][2] 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.[3] She was born in Chandigarh[4] 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.[1][2]

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.[1]

Artwork

While applying for jobs in public health, Tut began painting[1] and studied traditional Pahari painting from 2016-2021. She makes her own pigments and uses hemp paper or linen.[2] 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.[1][5]
