Nora lives and paints in her home overlooking the sea in Teignmouth, Devon. It is the huge expanse of sea and sky before her every day, and her meditation practice, which has inspired many of her paintings, particularly those that, in a Zen-like way, reflect the interplay of sea and sky, landscape and body. She paints in a semi-abstract neo-luminist style, creating unique, bold contemporary paintings, which vibrate with colour, light and depth. Nora is self-taught and has learnt to use the flow and purity of colour of traditional oils to transform space and landscape into highly expressive, flowing oil paintings.

Nora was selected by the South West Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2005 and again in 2007 and received from Teignmouth Art Society ‘Most Innovative’ and ‘Best Marine’ painting awards in 2006 and again ‘Most Innovative’ in 2007, She was also chosen as one of the top ten artists out of eighty thousand international artists showing their work on the Saatchi web site, by famous London and New York art critic Anna Finel Honigman.
