Introduction
Lotus Sunrise creates hand painted textiles that are original art pieces. Each design is an inspiration drawn from the living pulse of life, resonating a spirit of its own.

The artist presents an array of varied collections that are refreshing and strikingly different. In addition to creating the art, Lotus Sunrise transforms it into decorative soft furnishings, serving as functional art pieces, while beautifying the home or workplace.

Choose from the latest collections, especially created for wall decor, cushion covers or tablecloths, produced on 100% natural (unbleached) calico.

Each collection begins with an inspired theme to create a series of designs. The artist spends extensive time researching and studying reference material to assist the creative flow and artistic invention. The individual design starts as a sketch of raw inspiration, transferred into images and shapes, thus creating a unique arrangement. A palette of colours, carefully selected and blended, are added to the images and finished with line work, outlining and defining the patterns and motifs with character and life.

Lotus Sunrise Designs fuse the oriental culture of line art with traditional and non-traditional subjects, creating a range of designs that express aesthetic sentiments...universally.

About the artist
The artist (pictured at right) behind Lotus Sunrise was born from a mixed racial heritage. One of her family roots stems back to Sri Lanka, the source from where her passionate interest in Sinhalese art tradition developed, over the last nine years.

For many years, the artist has been based in the Oceania region, where a tropical atmosphere gave rise to her website's first colleciton of designs. Using the unique manner of stylised line work adapted from the study of Sri Lanka's age old native art, she applies this form to the many subject matters she has been inspired to create designs with.

Fine, artistic and rythmic lines breathe life into patterns and motifs to represent flora and fauna (both real and mythical) as well as daily surroundings and scenes. The artist lovingly produces each piece with vibrant colours from her palette in fresh, tropical, bold and flamboyant images that can be atmospheric anywhere the design's impressions transport the imagination to.

Each collection is animated with a visual journey that aims to imbue the viewer, not only with the artist's interpretation, but also with the viewer's own personal relation to the subject of a design.

Descriptions accompany each design, explaining the meanings behind
the works, and providing a visionary extension, ambient of the design
and beyond, enhancing the viewer's own mental image, inspiriting
the composition.
