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

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. In 2016, after almost 14 years absent from the small screen, he returned to primetime playing a paranoid schizophrenia treasure hunter in the mini-series Thong Sip.
