Thanks for taking a look at my website. My name is Mallica Vajrathon. I’m a retired Senior United Nations Official. I worked for more than 30 years as a political/social scientist in the field of development communication, population education, and human rights. Currently I am tutoring international staff as part of the world-wide Distant Learning Course on Population Issues organized by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

For the last decade, I’ve been working on my own in computer related art. Using adobe photoshop as the main tool, my paintings tend to be of the following four themes: Sealife, Wings, Flowers and Plants and Abstract. I’m interested in using my art work to promote World Peace, and for the preservation of nature’s beauty and the safeguarding of the environment.

I work and live internationally, and love to travel.
