Geeranan Chuersanga (Jeer-rah-nahn Choo-er-sahng-ah) , also known as Cartoon, is a Thai American, diversity, (health) equity and inclusion advocate as well as a self-taught artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Fun fact: Her nickname "Cartoon" was given by her parents since birth and derived from the popular cartoon character "Tweety" for her big eyes.
Her full-time career and art endeavors were heavily influenced by her parents' experiences navigating their Thai cultural beliefs with the US healthcare system. As a result, she received her BA in Public Health Policy from the University of California, Irvine and her MS in Medical Anthropology and Cross-Cultural Practice at Boston University.
Her interest in art and niche in capturing Thai elements led to the creation of @kwamsookxo on Instagram. With increased exposure of Asian American art and artists on various social media platforms, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, she noticed a lack of Thai-American representation and switched gears to shift her art to educate about Thai culture and capture the experiences of the Thai diaspora community.
