Welcome!
I am a Teacher of Art currently living in Hong Kong. I have spent the last 5 years living and teaching in Bangkok, Thailand. This blog is to document my own work, what my students get up to and the art I see around Hong Kong, Thailand… and beyond!
NAKHON PATHOM & WOODLAND
This weekend I travelled to a province just adjacent to Bangkok - Nakhon Pathom. This a peaceful and green area where the water hyacinth-filled Tha Chin river flows through and visitors can stay right on the riverbanks to enjoy the cool breeze and stunning sunrises and sunsets. Just down the road from where we stayed, we stumbled upon a HUGE museum - Woodland Museum - and inside we found an impressive collection wooden sculptures and carvings that were once the private collection of the Thewphaingarm family. The museum takes you on a tour around the religions and cultures of South East Asia through wooden sculpture and is set in a beautiful garden right on the Tha Chin river. This would be a fantastic place to kick start an art topic or project, with endless drawing and photography opportunities (especially with their dramatic lighting!).
