"Hello, my name is Vinita Tongtawat," shares the artist. "My first name comes from the combination of my father's (Pinit) and my mother's (Viboonwan) names. Although my name is not defined in the dictionary, I'm very proud of this name, as it was given to me by my parents with their love. I was born in Lampang, then moved on to study in Chiang Mai. After finishing high school, I went to study at the College of Fine Arts in Bangkok and completed my bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Fine Art, Silpakorn University. It was here that I discovered my true identity and began expressing myself through tangible art, especially by creating unique colors with batik apparel."

As a NOVICA artisan, Vinita's work not only showcases her exceptional craftsmanship, but also positively impacts her community through job creation, providing employment for two or more people. Each purchase from Vinita has a profound impact on her livelihood and income, and her use of traditional techniques helps to preserve these important cultural practices.
