Shormi is a New York based visual artist. She is currently a freelance art teacher with HeyCurated and MoMA and a student at Queens College in pursuit of a Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. She previously worked as a Museum Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan for 6 years and teaches filmmaking to teens in NYC with the Summer Youth Employment Program.
