📌 About Sonali Dharmawardena
Sonali Dharmawardena, the artist behind the beautiful creations, has worked with many creative mediums from pottery, jewellery, fine arts in oils, water colour and pencil. But with her discovery of the heritage art of Batik, her life took on a whole new journey, as her love of fashion and art converged. Batik, one of the oldest methods of value addition to fabric in the yesteryear, became the happy medium for her to express and share her unique sense of style and design.
