Rashmi Shivhare

I am an artist and art educator based in Nagpur, India, with over two decades of experience
spanning commercial art, fine arts education, and cultural facilitation. My practice is informed by
sustained engagement with schools and colleges, where I have mentored young artists and
encouraged creative inquiry. As a co-founder of an inclusive school rooted in holistic learning,
pedagogy and social engagement remain central to my artistic perspective. Alongside teaching, I
actively organize and participate in exhibitions, art festivals, and collaborative projects that
promote visual expression, cultural exchange, and meaningful community dialogue.
