I’m Nirani Pathirage from Mulgrave, VIC.
I’m Sri Lankan & migrated to Australia with my husband in 1995 when our older daughter was a baby. I’m a mother of two daughters, one married. I’ve been painting as a hobby since childhood, using watercolor, acrylic, and oil. This year, I attended an online workshop by Alain J. Picard and became fascinated with pastels, becoming a regular student of his.
I graduated from the Paintery Portrait Course 2024 (PPC2024) and Expressive Mark-making Mini course, conducted by Alain J Picard.
I’m pleased to join PSVA, looking forward to improving my skills, sharing knowledge, and working together.
