Although I have lived in Ealing since 1984, I was born in Sri Lanka and spent time in Zambia and Kenya as well during my childhood. It is this diversity which has given me inspiration for a large part of my artistic output. I was honoured to have my painting, "The Arrival of the Long Rains in the Serengeti" included in the 2022 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
My paintings are in a variety of sizes and are mostly on canvasses and canvas paper. I work with acrylic paint, but also use pastels, and charcoal. All my work is either framed or ready to hang. Additionally, I undertake bespoke commission pieces to order.
I aim to create paintings that promote a sense of peace and well-being. The intention is to draw the viewer into and connect with the depicted scene. In a world that can often be shocking, ugly and overwhelming, my work in contrast offers tranquility, and an opportunity for the eye and mind to escape and find joy in the beauty of nature.
