Manjula Atukorala

My practice draws moments from our experiences from within and outside ourselves. I am inspired by family, friends and also how our relationship with nature can provide comfort to our lives. These moments within the images speak of a time, place and space in our lives. 

My practice involves drawing, print making and painting.
