About the artist

Camera in one hand, palette knife in the other. Story on her mind. When Nora Camps began her career in commercial design - she and many of her contemporaries come from an education in Fine Art. The sensibility of space, colour and rhythm were key ingredients of seeing, sorting, and organizing the elements for what is commercial art. More than twenty years later, Nora is a Marketing Communications Strategist, Story Teller and Fine Artist – intertwined in experience and output.

Nora's fine art has a deeply felt theme of meditation and tranquility.

Nora's mother, Marietta Camps, is a west coast artist who uses watercolour to create her scenes of corn husks, windy roads, long beaches and mellow moments. Nora grew up in a home filled with music and art. There were sketches on every piece of paper, paintings and possibilities everywhere.
