Praveeni Chamathka is an illustrator and fashion graphic designer from Kandy, Sri Lanka. Her main source of inspiration is the diverse array of visuals that Sri Lanka has to offer – from muses to landscapes. Working with muted and soft pastel colors, she strives to create simple yet communicative illustrations.

The collection of landscapes illustrated exclusively for Local Forecast, was inspired by sights and places that Chamathka was longing to see or visit. A few of them were places she had already been to, and some she had never been to. When she was creating this collection, she wanted to move away from the conventional narrative of travel in Sri Lanka to create pieces that said something personal of her experience as a Sri Lankan.
