Kamonchanok Phon-ngam, a Thai artist based in New York City, creates art through mixed-media techniques. She earned her bachelor's degree from the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi in 2008 and her master's degree from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in 2013. Her deeply rooted cultural background continues to inspire her unique artistic creations.
Kamonchanok's work explores the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures in depth. She specializes in mixed-media art, incorporating fabric as a primary element. Combining collage, stitching, weaving, and embroidery with Indigenous and diverse materials conveys identity, existence, balance, and self-awareness concepts.
Her inspiration is drawn from the surrounding natural world, meditation practices, and exploring inner emotions. She uses art to communicate profound emotions, capturing both the beauty and fragility of existence—internal and external—through layered textures, intricate embroidery, and fabric compositions. Her works reflect an ongoing stream of consciousness and the ever-changing nature of emotions, embracing the impermanence of life.
Her work has been exhibited internationally at prestigious venues such as the National Art Museum of China (Beijing) and the Beppu Art Museum (Japan), as well as leading galleries across Thailand, Asia, and the United States. Her most recent solo exhibition, In the Name of Love, was held at Yant Studio (New York, 2024). Additionally, she has participated in major group exhibitions at the CICA Museum (Korea, 2025, 2024), the Asian American Resource Center (Austin, 2021, 2023), and the SFA Project (New York, 2019, 2020), further cementing her presence in the contemporary art scene.
With every stitch, collage, and carefully placed element, Kamonchanok pushes artistic boundaries. Her mixed-media works express the power of nature, spirituality, emotions, and human connections. She invites viewers to explore the intricate relationship between the mind, spirit, nature, and human connections through a significant artistic lens.
