Biography[edit]
Paew Suddhiburana was born on 25 December 1903. She was presented to the palace of Prince Asdang Dejavudh at the age of eight, and learned the art from royal instructors. She eventually married the prince, but the prince died young at the age of 36. Paew remarried to Mom Rajawongse Tan Snidvongs (titled Mom Snidvongseni), who was a diplomat, and she would observe the dance cultures of various countries during their frequent travels. She later joined the Fine Arts Department as an expert on Thai dance. She made new interpretations and created numerous dance styles, drawing inspiration from the foreign movements as well as traditional methods. For her contributions to the art, she was named National Artist in performing arts in its inaugural award in 1985.[1][2]
