I was born and raised in Thailand. I started painting from a very young age.
My inspiration was professional painter and art tutor in my home town of.
I watched him paint and I wanted my paintings to look just as good as his.
I had a couple of businesses in Thailand and painting was my sanctuary. I would put on calming and meditative music to help me express my creativity and convert my thoughts to colours then transfered them onto canvas. I get the feeling of time stopping stillness when I paint and this helped me forget about my hectic life. I gradually built up my experience and profile by occasionally selling some paintings to friends, customers or even business clients.
I first came to the UK in 2002 and worked as a Chef in my partner's restaurant, the Thai Royale restaurant. During my spare time I continued to paint to relax from my stressful night job. I suggested to, now, my husband that the paintings would look excellent in the restaurant and with the number of people who were interested in my art. I decided to put my paintings up for sale. In 2004 we were awarded for the "Best Thai Food in South Yorkshire" and I was awarded for the "Best Thai Chef 2004" by the Thai society of Sheffield.
Over the courses of three years I sold a substantial number of paintings but unfortunately my husband had to sell the business. With the time I had on my hands, I added more paintings to my collection. I then worked as a receptionist but still keeping my much loved hobby. I wasn't totally satisfied with the job had, so I decided to open my own gallery.
I now have my own website where I sell my work which I have produced over the last 15 years. I have collected over 200 paintings. I love to paint what I see. I would take a photograph and paint the picture. I love the Yorkshire and Derbyshire country side and I have a beautiful painting of Chatsworth House which I am very proud of.
Now I have other artist working for, and with me. Although I have been an artist for over 15 years our team has only been online for a short while. We have a number of artists who all have different styles and each have their own preferred subjects or genres of painting, for example, landscapes, seascapes, aged effect paintings, abstract, still life, reproductions, modern, animals, cultural paintings and many more. We also like to use different tools to create different effects on our paintings therefore we have a wide selection of paintings in our studio.
