Sujith S N (b. 1979, Baroda) is an established contemporary artist from India. Born in 1979 in Baroda, Gujarat, India, Sujith completed an MFA from the Sarojini Naidu School of Fine Arts; Performing Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad in 2007, and a BFA from the College of Fine Arts, Thrissur, University of Calicut in 2005.
