Drawing and painting with a brush have been great sources of enjoyment for me since my primary school days. I kept that pleasure and satisfaction through my training in Graphic and Packaging design from Humber College in Toronto and working in the Animation field. I was born in the U.K. and then living fourteen years in Sri Lanka before moving to Canada for my high school years. After finishing College I started working in Animation in Ottawa for the show "Raccoons" and "Nutcracker Prince". During that time I met my husband who who was also an Animator. We made the decision to move to Seoul, South Korea for a few years for our animation work.
After a break, and raising our two children, I had rediscovered my passion for paint and eventually decided to attend the Ottawa School of Art and take classes. The current focus is on the outdoors and nature. I am intrigued by its impermanence. Brush paint and canvas have hellped me capture fleeting moments of beauty, in order to pay tribute in my way to the natural world.
Le dessin er la peinture sont pour Kokila Jeffrey une grande source de plaisir depuis son plus jeuneage. Elle a garde cette passion durant sa formation en design graphique et en conception d'emballages au collage Humber de Toronto, puis plus tar en travailland dans l"industrie de l'animation.
Apres une pause consacree a l'ecucation de ses deuz enfants, elle a redecoivert sa passion por la peinture.Les cours qu'elle a suivis a l'Ecloke d'art d'Ottawa ont egalement ete tres utiles dans ce processus. Ses tableaux representent surtout des images de l'exterieuer, de la nature et du quotien qui l'entoure. Cest son hommage au monde natural.
