Nora’s background in social work allowed her to develop alternative communication and interpersonal strategies throughout the years. She uses active listening, observation, and interpretation to unveil the unspoken and hidden emotions. As an artist, she naturally chose the portrait as a channel of expressionIn each one of her creations, Nora validates the mission to provoke and encourage a creative exchange in an embodied, rather than spoken, accessible way. The simplicity and minimalist materials give the visitors an opportunity to interact and create a relationship with the artwork.Her work has been displayed in collective and solo exhibits presented in Canada, United States and Argentina.
