Following his dream of working at NASA, he continued his education in the Industrial Engineering Master of Science program in Expert System.

Subsequently, he moved to New York City and signed with Storm Model Management and began his career in modeling. He later described his time in New York City as 'the time of my life' and appearing in Vogue (magazine), Germany Edition, in the advertisement for Givenchy as the proudest moment in his life. In 1996, after receiving news about many great job opportunities from his model friend who was working in Bangkok at the time, he decided it's time to move back to Thailand. After a year of working as a model in Thailand for various top fashion magazines, runways, advertisements and commercials, his big break came in 1997 when he was chosen to be the presenter in a TV commercial for 'Hunter Whiskey." Fluent in both English and Thai, Art acted in the leading role in several Thai language television mini-series (lakorn). In 2003, he signed a recording contract with Warner Music Thailand and released his first solo album 'Art of Love'. In 2008, he recorded 3 new songs, a cover version of a Southern gospel classic & 2 re-recorded new versions of the songs from his album Art of Love, to be included in the soundtrack of English Director Thomas Clay's Film Soi Cowboy. The 3 new tracks included the theme song Where We'll Never Grow Old (Never Grow Old), an uptempo version of Yaak Euie Wa Ruk (Thai: อยากเอ่ยว่ารัก) and a live-like recording of Yar Ton Eak Leoy (Thai: อย่าทนอีกเลย). At the 61st Cannes film festival, Soi Cowboy was selected for Un Certain Regard Award consideration, and for his effort on the soundtrack, he received the same honor in the music category.
