“Born in Sri Lanka, a beautiful island, also known as the ‘Pearl in the Indian Ocean’, located at the base of the Indian Sub-Continent. From my childhood, I have had a great passion for art and crafts, and I am a self-taught artist.
Acrylic is my preferred medium; I also work with watercolor and metallic paint. I love abstract art and creating mixed-media artwork. In addition to painting, the Northwestern artistic community has inspired me to design and create costume jewelry, using stones, crystal, glass, hand-painted wooden beads, etc.
I am a member of the Burien Artists United Club.”
