Preatorium Print

I am an award winning multimedia artist with a primary focus in Monotype Printmaking. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and now live and work in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. To achieve the aesthetic of my abstract-expressionist prints, I use cut-out shapes, vibrant colors and found-objects for textures. A print is a mirror image of what I painted on a printing plate. Monotype prints are one of a kind, but I can sometimes pull one or two more faint “ghost prints” until the ink is completely gone. A ghost print can become the base for a new, layered work. What I enjoy most about the printmaking process is the element of surprise. The thrill of exploring is addictive, and it keeps me going back to my studio day after day.

Everything in life doesn’t need an explanation!....” AA Contemporary
