Currently, she's immersed in "fusion crafts" with the same passion for supporting the needy……

She is striking in some "combination works"….Her skill is generally striking in a portion of the "combination works" that naturally amalgamates painting and art. For example, a surrounded piece portraying a butterfly is complicatedly made out of broken glass pieces, the shards mirroring, and the example of wings in a colorful palette.

P.S Padmini set up 165 of her works of art in an online show and plans to utilize more funds to fabricate a home for an oppressed girl in Thiruvananthapuram. Her Art communicates in the language of care and liberality in her story.  She backed off from her heart after knowing the pathetic condition of a young child she told us that," with no real house and roof, only a blanket to shelter, not appropriate for life. Upon realizing the pitiful state, she wishes to protect her from building a house somehow. Initially, her earning was only 500 rupees per painting, so she began selling more artworks in art galleries and raising the money and arranged shelter for a low-income family.

She said, "We will give as much as possible to accomplish something for that less fortunate". She gradually decided to market further pieces of art online. Hats off old lady!!
