Artist Statement:
Ta was ecstatic to receive a link to a captivating article by Tony Walne in *The Daily Mail on Sunday*, a prestigious UK publication. Titled "How to Spot the Next Banksy or Hockney," the piece celebrated Ta alongside these legendary icons of the art world, marking a significant moment in her artistic journey.
While Ta may not reside in the bustling art capitals of London, Paris, Rome, or New York, her creations have reached far and wide, captivating audiences across 69 countries, including Kazakhstan and Bangladesh.
Her story began at the tender age of 13 in the vibrant streets of Bangkok, where a chance encounter with an old painter forever altered the course of her life. While wandering past an art studio, she caught a glimpse of the artist's mesmerising work, inviting her into a world she had only dreamed of. Surrounded by the intoxicating scents of paint and varnish, she stood in awe as the seasoned artist shared his wisdom, instilling in her a deep-seated passion for creativity. It was within those chaotic, colourful walls that her love for art blossomed, culminating in a whimsical drawing that unleashed her artistic potential.
Recently, Ta achieved a monumental milestone by receiving a prestigious commission to create two striking paintings for The Cliff Restaurant in Samui, widely regarded as one of Thailand's premier dining establishments. This honour was not only a testament to her talent but also a testament to her perseverance, especially given the restaurant owner's exacting standards.
Initially attributing her achievements to serendipity, Ta has come to understand that her success is rooted in determination and an unwavering commitment to excellence. As a full-time artist for over 13 years, she dedicates herself to capturing the essence of humanity. "I want my paintings to embody character and convey stories without words," she explains. "My work is like mime—dramatic, emotional, often theatrical—but always infused with deep feeling and uniqueness."

Artistic Influences:
My inspiration comes from my imagination along with; Claude Monet for his use of colour, his expressiveness, detail and the softness of his beautiful paintings. Vincent van Gogh for his bold use of colour his expressiveness, and I like to think I’m a little impulsive like him, and Lowry for his simple but very sophisticated work.
