Rashmi Rao is a fine artist, surface pattern designer, and art educator whose work reflects her roots, memories, and emotions. Inspired by the vibrant colors of her Indian heritage and the quiet beauty of nature, her art becomes a gentle unfolding of stories—told through color, texture, and form.
Working intuitively, Rashmi lets her materials guide her. Her award-winning alcohol ink pieces speak to this process—where inks bloom and blend freely, forming shapes that feel organic, spontaneous, and deeply alive. Each piece becomes a moment of emotional release and discovery.
Beyond the canvas, she channels her love for rhythm and detail into surface patterns drawn from nature and traditional motifs—honoring where she comes from, and everything that moves her.
Rashmi is a multidisciplinary artist/designer whose work this year has won an Honorable Mention at the Fresh Works juried exhibition at the Harrington Gallery, Firehouse Arts Center in the City of Plesanton and First Place (watercolors) at the Spring Art Show in the City of Livermore.
