Her artwork ranges in many techniques including intaglio printing, industrial printing, mixed media, installation and performance art. Sutasinee is interested in recording life and emotions that occur in life in various ways by using art as an introspection tool. She is also interested in the expression of artists in public spaces, based on social and cultural criteria, and the violations of that culture and desires of society. Some parts of her life experience had an effect on her art making and became a source of “positive life” artwork projects. At present, she is interested in performance arts in relation to the line of power and the limitation of power that occurs in history of art. 

Her solo exhibitions include "Positive Life" at G Gallery, Chiang Mai (2015) and "Art8 + Positive life + Nowhere" at The Meeting Room Art Cafe, Chiang Mai (2016).​
