PS Padmini - Exibhition

It is about the passion for craft and  the hard work   of a unique person which has blossomed into  such a variety of works.
She is so passionate that she will say “I have been fulfilling my dreams…”. Nothing more and nothing less.
From child hood,   inspired by her  sisters and brothers, she used to do each and every craft work  that she came across. Pursuing craft at that time was a difficult process, since she learned each item through bits and slices from many persons.
The path of  learning became swifter and smoother, when she met the right person, the guru , George Fernandez of  ‘Flora’ the art school.  It was another beginning, which flourished, being  a student of  Anitha  and Lekha of Continuing  Education Sub Centre, College for Women, Trivandrum.
She was born and brought up in Kottayam. Alumni of  M.D. seminary and St. Anne’s school Kottayam, she graduated from BCM College Kottayam and took her B.Ed. Degree from Mount Carmel Training school Kottayam.
She started her career as a Teacher in Trivandrum, served as Headmistress in various schools and retired as Co-ordinator, UNICEF, State Institute of Education, Trivandrum.
She remembers with love and reverence, her late husband  Sri. N. Gopinathan Achari, Former Head master, Govt. Model School (retired as DEO), whose consistent and unconditional support was the major pillar of strength.
Her maiden exhibition  at Museum Auditorium is the manifestation of  the enthusiasm, will power and determination which has not ebbed with age.
