Saintgrocery, or Nuna, is an artist based in Thailand who finds joy in the little things and creates whimsical art inspired by food, grocery items, and cats.

The name Saintgrocery comes from my love of grocery shopping. To me, every grocery store feels like a little museum filled with beautiful packaging and thoughtful designs. The word "Saint" comes from the feeling that grocery shopping always lifts my spirits. No matter how bad my day has been, wandering through the aisles is my little form of therapy.

My work is brought to life through two original characters: Pan, a squashed melon bread who promises to protect every loaf from sharing the same fate, and Cream, a playful and optimistic rabbit who accidentally turned pink and proudly became a strawberry rabbit.

Luck is Always on Your Side

The four leaf clover is a symbol of good luck because it's much rarer than the common three-leaf clover. I created this piece to remind myself that I'm a lucky girl and that luck is always by my side (manifesting!).

I filled the artwork with four-leaf clovers in the hope of sharing a little bit of that lucky energy with everyone who sees it.

Quality Time

Spending quality time with the people I love is one of my favorite love languages. We don't have to talk much. Simply enjoying each other's company in comfortable silence is enough. Just having them nearby fills my heart with warmth and makes me feel at ease.

There's No Place Like Home

As a homebody, spending 24/7 at home has never been a problem for me. I have everything I need; good books, yummy snacks, and chubby cats to cuddle. To me, heaven is a place on Earth, and that place is home.

Grow in Your Own Season

When I was younger, I often compared myself to people my age and wondered why I wasn't as good as they were. As time passed, I learned that everyone grows at their own pace. Instead of comparing myself to others, I chose to focus on improving a little every day.

Over the years, I began to appreciate who I am and realized that I am enough. This piece is a reminder that every flower blooms in its own season, and this is my season to bloom.

Good Food = Good Life

Food is fuel, and good food makes life a little better. As a food enthusiast, food has always been an important part of my life. Whenever I'm feeling down, a delicious meal gives me the energy to keep going and brightens my day.

Pan the Bread Guardian and Cream the Bread Thief

After being squashed flat in a bag, Pan made a promise to protect every loaf of bread from the same fate. Every day, Pan watches over the bakery while enjoying peaceful naps on soft, fluffy loaves.

But there's one little problem... Cream, the silly strawberry rabbit, absolutely loves bread and can't stop dreaming about taking just one bite.

Practice Makes Perfect

Trying ceramics taught me one of the most important lessons: patience. It's a medium full of trial and error, and you never truly know how a piece will turn out until it comes out of the kiln. Sometimes the results are exactly what you hoped for, and other times they're completely different.

Through ceramics, I learned to be patient, embrace the unexpected, and keep practicing. Every mistake is simply another step toward making something better.

Parts of Me

During my university years, still life drawing was never my strongest subject. I've always been someone who notices and focuses on tiny little details that others might overlook, rather than seeing the subject as a whole. Back then, I thought it was a weakness. But as I grew older, I realized it's actually what makes me who I am.

This piece is a collection of small objects that tell my story. Each one represents a part of my life, my memories, and the little things that bring me joy.

This is the world of Saintgrocery, where even a simple trip to the grocery store is full of joy and little surprises.

Trinket Collector

One of the best ways to express yourself is by decorating the things you use every day. For me, phone charms are a fun way to show my personality and my love for collecting little trinkets.

This is what my dream trinket covered phone would look like.
