“Born in Japan, between a Japanese father and a Sri Lankan & Dutch mother, the first 10 years of my life was spent growing up in the city of Yokohama, Japan. Even then, I attended regular after-school classes in art and in music, in particular, the piano. After moving residence to Australia, I attended my last two years of primary studies, and on to High School at Aquinas Catholic College, where I excelled especially in art related subjects. After graduation, and still following my passions, I enrolled in the Bachelor of Visual Arts in Fine Art, at Queensland College of Art, were the focus was on interdisciplinary studies, which covered everything from traditional painting and printmaking, to installation and multimedia. “
