Shormi is a New York based visual artist. She is currently a freelance art teacher and a student at Queens College in pursuit of a Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. She had previously worked as a Museum Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan for 6 years.

Shormi was born and raised in Queens, New York, with her two parents and older sister. Her work is influenced by her experience with queerness and introversion in desi and western culture. It is in Shormi’s experiences in making art with children and understanding how they make choices in their artmaking process that have a significant influence in her work.

When Shormi is not working or studying, she is spending time with family and friends, trying new places to eat, visiting museums, reading books and dancing alone at home.
