A love for drawing led to painting in watercolour, acrylic and oil. Her work covers a broad range of subject matter evocative of a time and place.
Award winning artist, Nirmala was born and educated in Trinidad, West Indies, and UBC. Her studies included a focus on Indian, Chinese and Japanese art, the history of art, design fundamentals and the techniques of the old masters. Instructors Tony Onley and BC Binning were among many of her influential teachers.
Nirmala enjoys the challenges of paining plein air as well as commissioned and studio projects, and portraiture. Her paintings reflect her fascination with light and atmosphere.
Travels to India, Mexico and various art museums in Europe coupled with an appreciation of the old masters and art culture in general continue to inspire her.
