As a result of this I took the opportunity to attend Art school in Rangoon for three years. It was here that my journey began, as I learnt how to apply my thoughts and feelings to a canvas.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite memory of this time was being taken as a student to stay in the ancient city of Pagan and being immersed in the landscape and temples that surround the region.<\/p>\n<p>Following the completion of my studies I held my first exhibition in Rangoon with other students at the International Opera hall.<\/p>\n<p>After I graduated from Art school, I decided to come to Thailand with my brothers as it held more opportunities for me to create a stable future for myself.<\/p>\n<p>I am fortunate to be able to make a living here in Mae Sot doing what I love, painting and selling my work to visitors and mentoring other young artists.<\/p>\n<p>Working with acrylic and watercolour mediums; I paint what I see around me, paying special attention to the local people; who make this town my home.<\/p>\n<p>I would like one day to have the opportunity to study art further, gaining an even deeper understanding and evolving my style along the way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"dottedline\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Saw Poe Dah factfile<\/strong><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" class=\"artisttable\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Born:<\/td>\n<td>1985, Karen State<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Started:<\/td>\n<td>In childhood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Studied under:<\/td>\n<td>Oo Win Thint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Education:<\/td>\n<td>Art and Sculpture School in Rangoon (3 years)<br \/>\n10th Standard Umpiem Mai Camp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Occupation:<\/td>\n<td>Artist<br \/>\nArt Teacher<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Favorite Medium:<\/td>\n<td>Watercolour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tdheader\">Exhibitions:<\/td>\n<td>Ban Thai, April 2005<br \/>\n&#8216;Local Artist Exhibition on Borderline&#8217;, June 2005  with KSNG<br \/>\n&#8216;The Locality of Art&#8217;, December 2004 Borderline Gallery<br \/>\n&#8216;Anniversary&#8217;, August 2005 Borderline Gallery<br \/>\n&#8216;Our Environment and We&#8217;
