About the Artist

Padma-Rajendran

Padma Rajendran (b. 1985) is an artist based in Catskill, New York. Primarily working in a textile-based practice, Padma paints dye and resist onto silk in order to craft representational paintings that reflect on immigrant storytelling, womanhood, and the concept of home as a tended space. Padma’s work contains forms that are personal translations of shrines and monuments, these forms evoking a greater symbolic narrative that hold universal resonance.
