Inspired by a life drawing – she appears to be observation and analysis mode- gazing out the world with her beautiful soft eyes, she exudes individuality and strength. There is more to her than meets the eye. Strong and feminine - I think of her as being a mythical warrior princess- an Amazon.
Framed under glass she is sure to brighten up any room.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Ayubowan! This is a traditional greeting in Sri Lanka meaning "may you have the gift of long life".
I’ve been drawing painting and writing all my life- my mother recalls me drawing on the floor with chalk when I was perhaps four or five and I recall writing and illustrating bedtime stories for my younger brother when I was around nine years old.
I admire the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai as well as Monet, Van Gogh, Mucha and Toulouse-Lautrec and these influences are apparent in my artwork. I create works that are bold yet restrained, dramatic but beautifully simple with a touch of playfulness or whimsy.
I’m particularly fond of inks and several of my artworks on paper are ink drawings which have been in some instances coloured in using a very restrained palette. Drawing in ink and letting go of the quest for perfectionism as ink cannot be corrected is liberating. I also love life drawing and find using inks to sketch a life drawing helps me capture the essence of the moment.
I have lived on three different continents and am fortunate to have a rich and varied lived experience to draw on for my work. How I belong, connect and contribute in a place has been an ongoing journey of self exploration . My work draws on these themes of belonging and interconnectedness in a joyful and sometimes whimsical fashion so as to better engage the viewer and draw them into a dialogue with the work.
My wish with all my work is that the viewer experiences even for a moment some of the joy I felt whilst creating it.
