Art touches something deep within us, stirring emotions and long forgotten memories, evoking feelings of connection. That is the power of art and it is why we are drawn to it for reasons we are often unable to explain.

About Me

Hello there, I’m Norma, a mixed media artist from Northern Ireland. I am delighted to welcome you to my little corner of the world where most days you will find me in my studio doing what I love most - making art.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” ― Aristotle

My creativity is driven by the sense of freedom, joy and peace I experience when making art. It is definitely my ‘happy place’.

Most of my early working life was spent in the caring professions but in 2010 I began to feel the pull towards creativity. I immersed myself in the world of art, seeking out mentors and teachers to help me on my journey. I began to combine my new skills with my poetry and in 2018 I published my illustrated poetry book ‘Thunder In My Soul’. It truly was a labour of love and remains a project I feel a strong connection to.

Becoming an artist was not something I had ever imagined. so to find myself doing what I now do provides me with a continual sense of wonder and delight.

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.” ― Émile Zola
