Shanta Perera         Artist

Welcome to the website of Shanta Perera.


I am a Sri Lankan born Suffolk artist. I arrived in Britain in the late sixties and have lived in Suffolk since the early nineties.

Besides art, my passions include travelling and sailing. So my subjects are drawn from the marine environment as well as places I have visited. My practice is figurative landscapes and portraits. My preferred media of expression are oils, watercolours, graphite and coloured pencils, inks and soft and oil pastels.
