The charming and lively Indian style dance by artist Sejal Surendra Sood certainly compliments her paintings -- pieces of arts -- which capture the lively mood.
Sejal Surendra Sood made her journey from the US via India and came to Thailand 2 years ago. She is fascinated with paintings and dancing. Her works were displayed at the Think Design Art Festival recently held at Royal Phuket Marina.

Paintings were worth from thousands to hundreds of thousands. Art festivals can compliment tourism, not only for their relaxation while vacationing, but they can also be souvenirs to take home. So arts can be another selling point for tourism. According to the organizer, a portion of the proceeds benefitted two Phuket-based charities, namely the Phuket Has Been Good To Us Foundation for teaching English to Thai students in government schools and the Soi Dog Foundation for looking after stray dogs and cats in Thailand.
