“If we can open up a little bit more to each other and share our stories, that’s what breaks down barriers. ”
LaGrish is a consulting and artistry company that partners with organizations in Hollywood, film festivals and academic institutions.
When founder, Grishma Shah isn't consulting on shows/films or facilitating workshops, the self-taught artist is likely burning the midnight oil creating works of art for upcoming LaGrish events. Immersed in culture from her South Asian roots, Grishma's painting style goes beyond traditional elements, often incorporating elements of mixed media to invoke a multi sensory art experience.
A 2021 3Arts/Bodies Of Work Fellow, Grishma has had her artwork exhibited at Bridgeport Art Center, South Asian Institute, Harold Washington Library, Devonshire Cultural Center, Skokie Public Library, Schaumburg District Library, Adler University, Harper College, The Chicago Cultural Center, Navy Pier, Chicago Symphony Theatre, Wentz Concert Hall/Fine Arts Center (to name a few).
