Norma
produces colourful, mixed media images on canvas. She has an impressionistic
style and her work is mainly abstract or semi-abstract in content
but always dramatic.
To
date her subject matter has included the representation of the nude
female body through the strategies of fragmentation and manipulation
of the body image, and imaginary portraits, which are sometimes
threatening and sometimes benevolent.
Currently
she is working on landscapes sparked by her travels. A recent trip
to the U.S.A resulted in evocative paintings of the shapes and colours
of Utah and New Mexico.
Mosque
shapes and spice colours followed from a trip to Morocco, whilst
the painting "Mumbai" put onto canvas the vibrant colours
of the saris and fabrics of India.
Norma
has exhibited widely from Aberdeen to London and was prizewinner
in the Priestley Centre for the Arts in 1999.
This
hard working artist is also an enthusiastic founding member of the
FEVA group of artists and she has just completed her fourth solo
show for the Festival.
Her
work is in several private and corporate collections in the UK and
the USA.
