Sulakkana Marc studied for her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Fine Art at Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, at Silpakorn University, Thailand.
Like many artists who lost their primary source of income during the Covid pandemic, she was no exception.
Unable to secure a job at any art gallery due to the ensuing lockdowns, Hatyai-born Sulakkana had to find another way to make a living. Though she wasn’t sure ‘what’ at the time, she did know that she wanted to stick to food-related artwork as that was her forte.
Check out the Thai food artist’s works:
I read that in the beginning, Sulakkhana only charged her clients a nominal fee as she wasn’t quite confident about her work.
But over time, her online sketches improved. She was also able to tackle more challenging dishes like nasi lemak, nasi kunyit, nasi campur, and pasembur that she was able to charge higher fees for.
I only came across her works when Sulakkhana began focusing on Malaysian foods – some of which are featured here:
I don’t know what her fees are like – but I do know if I own a restaurant or a café or even a food truck, I’ll get her to illustrate my menu's F&B items!
