About Nora Camps

Nora’s painting is a combination of luminous, organic and abstract – vibrating with colour and tension – sometimes dancing over the chasm into representational art. Always meant to be felt.


Nora is a visual artist, a storyteller, and a creative entity. Nora has described herself as a conduit for ideas and stories usually told through her paintings.

  • Beginning a painting...

    Often asked how she begins to tell a story, Nora replies:

    “I sit with a feeling. I give that feeling time and space in my mind and in my body. Perhaps I am thinking about something I’ve read, something I’ve heard, something I’ve experienced in the past, or yesterday...or even how I felt when I read the news. I feel it all the way through. I ruminate on it. I ask myself how it makes me feel, what colour is it and what shape and texture might it be? Also I think about what this feeling/story/event means in the larger picture of my life or even for life on earth, on being human? Without being focused on what my painting is looking like, I focus instead on what it feels like.

    I enjoy showing my work because the emotional response from the viewer can begin a beautiful conversation about time, space, opportunity, experience, want and need.”
