I have always enjoyed watching cartoons and movies from an early age. At the end of each movie I would often sit down and recreate the characters myself. This has not changed and in fact has grown and become a strong passion of mine.
I invite you to come along and experience my world through my upcoming exhibition. This is where I pay tribute to the imagery that has influenced my life and my art but with a Thai twist.

The works I produce are the results of constant observation of nature. I enjoy looking hard into trees and plants and seeing the textures that barks and leaves and lichens provide for inspiration.
The textures of barks and leaves fascinate me - their structure and formation, never finding two pieces exactly the same. I think too there is some strong influences of the moods of nature, and perhaps how those moods affect us, both as individuals and as communities.
My training as a graphic designer is easily recognisable in my work. Some have said there is also a strong Pacifica influence - subconsciously perhaps. I have always appreciated the power of ink, in art and in publishing, especially where the two meet.
