I’d just come back from a trip to Koh Samui with a load of Kids from a Bangkok Orphanage which the Samui Rotary Club arrange every year. Unfortunately the heavens opened and we had a lot of rain, but even so the Kids had a wonderful time.

The trip back was a nightmare driving through floods and the ferry crossing was like being on a rocking horse, but we all got home safe and sound. I wanted to paint but something calming, when I need to calm down I think of Buddha and listen to the Monks (who do so much good work here in Thailand) and I find it very calming, hence I painted The Monks.

Ta Byrne was born in Thailand in 1974. Despite her passion for art, she once believed that becoming an artist was an impossible dream. However, a small sketch she drew in 2010 changed her life forever. Since then, she has achieved great success as an artist, with her paintings being displayed in homes, offices, hotels, and restaurants across more than 66 countries. This is an incredible feat for someone who had to leave school at the age of 12 to work in the rice fields of Thailand. In addition to her success as an artist, Ta Byrne is also set to release a book soon.
