Overcoming pain
through art
Mrs. Meenakshi Ram from 1984
batch has been suffering from
chronic body pain (fibromyalgia)
and a weak heart for nearly a
decade.
The pandemic made her a virtual prisoner at
home. Mrs Meenakshi, 52, who needs a
defibrillator machine for her weak heart, was
told by doctors to stay at home and not go out
because ill health made her more vulnerable to
disease and infection.

In 2020, when the Earth went into
lockdown, Meenakshi satiated her
wonderlust by making miniature
polymer clay pieces of food and
drinks from around the world. With
420 miniature pieces, you can feast
your eyes on food from South
America, to India to Russia. Her
display made the news, and her talent
was showcased in the national
newspaper in Singapore.
Mrs Meenakshi Ram is a homegrown
self-taught artist who has dabbled in
virtually every art form that you can
name. She is most well-known for her
Tanjore paintings, each made with care
and high-quality materials. The
Tanjore Paintings depict scenes from
Hindu Gods’ lives, such as the Coronation of
Ram or Shiva’s wedding. Beyond traditional art,
Meenakshi has also ventured into polymer clay
making.
Mrs Meenakshi’s latest venture is to expand her
jewelry to around the world. In 2020, Meenakshi
launched her online business Meena’s Creations
to the world and it has been met with a
resounding success. The “Misnomer Collection”
