I once said it would be easier for me to walk on the moon than become an artist. While I was 13 years old and working in a Bangkok sweatshop, we called it a factory back then; we made shirts from early morning till late in the evening with one day off a week, a Sunday.

I once said it would be easier for me to walk on the moon than become an artist.


While I was 13 years old and working in a Bangkok sweatshop, we called it a factory back then; we made shirts from early morning till late in the evening with one day off a week, a Sunday. We worked late and slept in the same place, but still, it was better than the rice fields I came from.

One Sunday, I went for a walk. I didn't get far and came across an old art studio with an old man painting with oil paints, and I stood and watched him for ages; he invited me in, showed me what he was doing, and showed me around his studio.

I knew I wanted to be like that old man and paint; I loved that old studio and the chaos, the smell of paint and varnish. It was fascinating, and I was well and truly hooked. I didn't know how to do it, but I knew one day I would be an artist, but I remember thinking it would be easier to walk on the moon than me becoming an artist.

It was pure chance that a cheeky little drawing I did later in life changed my life forever and got me into the world of art, and now my work is hanging on walls in 64 countries. And for 2023, I’m in the top 10 women to invest in with Singulart.
I now live in a beautiful part of Thailand with my house and studio overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Thailand. Not bad for a girl from the rice fields.

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."

A recent review on Artfinder lauded her piece "The Lovers," proclaiming, “It is absolutely magnificent! I can’t find words to express how much I appreciate it. A distinctive style is clearly developing, both attractive and compelling. It evokes the same recognition as a Monet, even before seeing the signature. Soon, I believe people will look at one of your paintings and instantly exclaim: ‘That’s a Ta!’” 

As Ta continues to evolve and inspire, she is poised to leave an indelible mark on the global art scene, inviting viewers to experience the world through her vibrant, emotive lens.
