Meditate Painting

I was born in Bangkok, Thailand, fifty years ago, into a family of laborers. I write poetry, short stories, and novels. I love meditation and have a passion for art, particularly drawing with oil, acrylic, and batik. I've been drawing since I started writing books, which I've been doing for over twenty years, mostly self-taught. My spouse and I have created an art space on our 17-hectare rural property. We host sculpture exhibitions in the numerous gardens here, transforming the area into a hub of art, literature, meditation, and sustainable living. We care for several cats, letting them roam freely, and we raise buffalo to graze instead of using lawnmowers. We tend to our mangoes, longan, flowers, and vegetables, and we have our own small rice paddies. Our future plans include building a large gallery to exhibit my art and welcoming children and art enthusiasts from across the country and around the world to work with us.
