Sudheera Dissanayake
Western Sydney, Australia
Sudheera Dissanayake (Sud) is a professional artist from Western Sydney, going by the moniker of ‘sudjuice’. Dissanayake’s art is influenced by his Sri Lankan heritage, Buddhist theories and transcendental experiences. Abstractly inclined, Dissanayake often employs bold brush strokes and poignant tableaux in an expressionistic manner. Dissanayake has been developing his body of work for over a decade, all of which has been exhibited in a multitude of solo and group exhibitions.
In tandem, Dissanayake is the founder of Little Umbrella Collective (an inclusive artist run collective with adults living with and without disabilities). Dissanayake is currently studying a master's degree in art therapy and is a committed teacher who aims to connect with students from all walks of life. Dissanayake is currently teaching art privately and through NDIS registered provider, Studio ARTES.
