“A lot of my art is inspired by nature as I grew up in a small tropical island in the south of Thailand called Ko Pha Ngan. I was surrounded by trees, waterfalls, even geckos and snakes that found their way into my home! Needless to say, my works greatly explore the relationship between human and nature.”

“I decided to pursue my interests in terms of my career, and it’s been the most liberating thing I’ve ever done for myself. Before this, I’d always been following what my parents wanted for me, but we all have different paths to choose in life.”

“I’m very particular when it comes to cleanliness. I think I got that from my dad. Friends who know me will know how particular my dad is, and it runs in the family, I guess.”

“I broke my funny bone skating before and that wasn't fun.”

“If I could choose a trend that I wish would never come back, it would be the '80's. I'm not strong enough to live through another era of mullet haircuts and permed hairstyles!”
