Story Behind the art:
I was born in Bangkok in 1974, where I spent my childhood. Then my family moved to northern Thailand when my father was sent there for his government job.
My mother began working in batik in 1973, and I learned the techniques of textile dyeing, waxed drawing, and color combination from my father, who graduated with a degree in textiles and is also an expert in the industry promotion center.
If I had left Thailand, there'd have been no one to continue the batik work that my mother truly loves. And I don't believe we'd be together as a family like we are.
Someday, I would like to open a school to train interested people to do batik work professionally, and without charging tuition. My inspiration for this comes from my father. He told me that he used to teach a person who felt so hopeless that she even thought about committing suicide. When she received training, she felt more encouraged. She has work to do and it is work that she loves. Now she really has a joyful life and can earn an income by doing batik.
I would like to thank my parents and my sister who taught me about batik. I sincerely hope that you like my designs.
