Wanida Mchugh

Since I was a child I have always loved painting but I never had the opportunity to go to Art College, my University education took me down a different path into environment technology and Land management, which would be a valuable asset to the family farming business. everything I know about my art is self-taught. I have learned with the passing of time how I made mistakes and learned hard lessons in trying to correct them. My imagination has led me to develop abstract themes and mixed styles which hopefully will lead me into my own 'uniqueness'. To see people liking my art and enjoying looking at it, and they want to own it and and take it to their own personal space, that gives me so much pleasure and satisfaction, I feel a great sense of achievement. Because I am Thai and living here in the UK, speaking a different language and coping with a different culture has been a big barrier for me.. I decided to interpretate what I have learned everyday and what I have seen, what I understand or don't understand such as culture and the people, the everyday topics of life over here and the totally diverse sense of humour! I really enjoy bringing my interpretation into my paintings. Painting for me it has no limit or restrictions, just to be able to feel free to enjoy and use your imagination as far as you like. Abstract is my favourite subject because I can play with the colour and make it have the feeling that I want in the painting. I am also a Photographer... colourful picture of flowers or abstract style of still life... macro photography is my favourite...Closer details make you feel the picture... Anyway I believe and respect that people have thier own tastes..anything that suit you and when you looking at it, if it makes you happy then that's all that matters. Thank you for your visit....:) Warm regards Wanida :)
