I am a Houston-based animal artist with a keen interest in portraiture and the natural world. Born and raised in Thailand, I pursued my secondary education in the UK and spent several years in the Middle East before moving to the USA with my husband and Bean, the Shiba Inu (artwork on the left).

I began my first career in contour fashion, where I discovered my admiration for the craftsmanship and production side of the creative business. Sewing and embroidery were never my strong suits, yet a fascination with fine details and the development of initial ideas to their full completion carried over naturally when I decided to change direction into fine art.

Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in understanding classical realism, while also keeping an open mind on the more experimental and contemporary approaches. I chose not to follow any specific master’s methodology, but have explored different ways of working that suit my personality. This diversity in perspectives informed my strategy for finding my own artistic voice, which values the fundamentals as the core that keeps me grounded when I allow myself the freedom to experiment.
