Sri McKinnon is an artist and illustrator of Eurasian heritage. Having grown up in both South East Asia and the UK, she draws upon the experience of this mixed background as a significant influence in her work. In reference to her cultural heritage, 'Archipelago' is a body of work inspired by nostalgia for the lush and tropical landscapes of her childhood. Sri's notable projects include being invited to perform at live drawing events at The Institute of Contemporary Arts (Heavy Pencil) and The Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, and being invited to lead a series of youth art workshops at the Charlie Dark curated Bring The Noise event in response to the Chris Ofili retrospective at the Tate Britain. Sri is the third artist to be featured by Eastpak Gallery at their flagship store in the heart of London's Carnaby Street. www.srimckinnon.com
