Zuju Shareef

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

A period in Iran and Brussels exposed her to different aspect of Art, Culture and Food. She ran a restaurant in Wimbledon after writing a book about Indian food.

It was a relatively easy progression from 3-dimential work into painting. 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 in India and Surrey.
