Karuna Painting

I was born in Thailand in 1969 and spent 12 years of my childhood living and studying in a temple, where I studied Buddhism & Sanskrit. During this time, I gained an appreciation for art, particularly religious art. Moving to Bangkok at the age of 18, I worked in various roles to provide myself with an art education, studying at Alliance Francaise under the tutelage of a French/American artist. I studied drawing, watercolours and oil painting, finally settling on oil and acrylic as my preferred medium. Over the past 20 years, I have held several solo and joint exhibitions in Asia & Europe, and my work has been acquired by collectors from Asia, Europe, and North America. Now based in the UK, my recent works incorporate wider global and universal influences.
