Saw Poe Dah

Saw Poe Dah

When I lived in Burma, I studied art for 3 years in Rangoon. At the end of my last year all the students went to the ancient city of Pa Guan for discovery and practical drawing. In March, 2003 there was an Exhibition in an international opera hall for the students to show their painting.

After I graduated from art and capture school, I decided to come to Thailand for my future aim. If I stayed in Burma I would not have good opportunities. My aim is to become a good artist. I really enjoy drawing the picture and even when I gave my full time to studying, when I was free I would spend time drawing and sharing my art knowledge to the students who are interested in art.

I would like to study more to learn about different kinds of art and to have a deeper understanding of art. I will be happy in the future to have more opportunities to study about art as well as to teach students who are interested in the artwork.
