ABOUT THE ARTIST

She received a Bachelor’s degree in Management from the University of Florida in 2019.

In 2021, she quit her job and made the switch to being a full time artist.

Konduri has painted murals for many prominent local businesses in the Austin area such as Jewboy Burgers, Sammataro & Curra’s. Konduri was formerly a member of the Austin Emerging Arts Leaders cohort of 2024.
