Thenuka joined the MFA community artists programme during his last year of schooling at Kamburupitya Maha Vidyalaya, Matara with encouragement from his art teacher Chinthaka. Now 18 and finished schooling, he has also completed a course on ‘tinker painting’, which is related to painting and scratch fixes on vehicles. This perfectly aligns with his coming back on board with MFA this year to support our Tuk Tuk mobile art project.
