Art is in my blood and at one point I had to decide whether to pursue a career as a classical pianist or painting and chose the latter. I have been an artist for 35 years and opened my studio, Studio Vimy Fine Art, 5 years ago. I taught painting at Humber College for 4 years and I am a classical pianist.

I received my Bachelor's of Fine Art from York University and my Bachelor's of Education from the University of Toronto. I received an Associate's from the Royal Conservatory of Music Toronto. 

Professionally, I find the gallery system to be biased against women - we are not taken as seriously as men. 

I have a broader understanding of relationships, politics and the environment through making art. My art is all issue based and entails war, solitary women, haute couture, urban life and nature. Most recently I began relating my work to the Sri Lanka (my birthplace) War.

My greatest accomplishment is still working and exhibiting after 35 years and being collected by museums.

My goal is to get my work into The United States. In order to do that I need introductions to galleries

What I do is my passion and as a full-time artist my studio is my home and my inspiration. 

I just want to become better and better and  to speak to more people through my art.

My work is in the Royal Ontario Museum and I was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Mint to design a Diwali coin and a multicultural coin in 2018.

I am a volunteer accompanist (piano) at St. Peter's Anglican Church

I love yoga, reading and taking walks with my dog. I also love playing classical piano.
