Artist Statement
I graduated from Silapakorn University of Art and Design with a BFA in Interior Design. I love art. I grew up drawing and painting. Recently, i moved to New York and focus primarily in visual art and illustration. I love flowers so much and also the color of nature. I like to look and notice shapes and colors of flowers, leaves, animals and stones. I collect them by taking pictures, sketching, clipping magazines and browsing online. Then I paint them with either watercolors or acrylic paint. I am most fond of watercolors, and it has become my specialty. I like to keep my memories of the places and objects that leave an impression on me, by painting them. I am aware that each place has it’s own character and history. I know that nothing lasts forever and that things change. Through my paintings i can retain these memories and impression. I try to portray the potential good that lies in every one of us, in every single day.
