Thanathorn was born in 1992 in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Printmaking from Mahasarakham University and earned a Master’s of Fine Art in Printmaking from The Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. During her master’s degree, Thanathorn developed a printmaking technique with typewriters, the tools with which she had long been familiar because her family used to run a typing school. Her work has won many major awards in Thailand, such as the “Bring Good Things to Life” Toshiba Art Awards (2015) and the annual “The White Elephant Art Award” (2016)
