Art is an instinct and Padideh knew her instinct from the beginning !
She commenced her major activities by study in Journalism and Social Communication . Simultaneously she achieved trainings in drawing at the "School of Art and Literature" of TV for three years; but her milestone just happened one year after her graduation in Journalism, when she began new course of study in Graphic.

Later, she took the master course of Iran's Association of Calligraphers. Her studies in graphic gave her a profound recognition of framing combined with her own self style, which is obvious in her subsequent artworks.
