Sehar Hashmi - 54063/TCHR/BBT

Born in Lahore and graduated (Bachelors in Fine Arts with Miniature Painting as Major subject from National College of Arts (NCA). Have had the honor to get my early internship from, MCB Bank Limited in Communication and Strategic Marketing Deptt. Later I joined top educational Institute Lahore Grammar School -LGS (Sr. Boys Branch) J.T Lahore as Art Teacher and Event Coordinator, after serving LGS for 3 years I joined yet another top educational Institute of Pakistan, Beacon House School, as Art Teacher and am associated with BHS since 2014. 

Since my childhood I was inspired by Colors and Sketching, and my passion enabled me to be selected by top Institutes like Kinnaird College University and for my Bachelors I got selected in National College of Arts University (NCA) Lahore. 

Of all the Fine-Arts and Painting disciplines, I chose a unique discipline, we call it “Miniature Paintings”.

This unique discipline of Fine Arts has its roots in sub-continent and considered to be most difficult, demanding and tough form of Fine-Arts. Over the last 50 years the Miniature Paintings evolution was slow and remained stagnant to specific portraits which were mostly seen as “Paintings of Mughal Empire” particularly Royal Family members male and female . 

Passion & Goals:

During the last decade after my graduation I was a witness as well as a contributor to “Miniature Paintings” evolution towards next level of recognition as a unique form of Fine-Arts in Pakistan.
