Her art was first introduced to the Norwegian public in 1983, and since then she has had various exhibitions across the country, among them a major one person show at one of Norway’s most renowned contemporary art museums, the Henie Onstad Art Centre in the Oslo region.  Now her works decorates important public spaces in Norway such as the St.Olavs hospital and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

 

Her unique artwork reflects her Nepalese and South Asian roots as well as her inspiration from Norway and Tibet. With this, Pramila introduces to the Norwegian audience a new culture – one that without her artwork many Norwegians might not be familiar with.
