Hello, I'm Norma A.

My life has been an unconventional journey and continues to be an exciting adventure. Over the years​,​ I managed to live and work in Canada​,​ Switzerland​,​ Hong Kong​,​ Lebanon and Syria! I've moved addresses and changed phone numbers over 10 times! If you're wondering about my whereabouts now​,​ well I am in Ottawa​,​ Canada. My journey was full of adventure​,​ travel and diverse cultural experiences which allowed me to expand both my cultural and social perspective of the World. Though my career is in Finance​,​ I have a love affair and an obsession with all forms of creative art starting with latin dancing​,​ music​,​ and painting art! I believe it is so important to feel good and to do anything that brings warmth in your home and joy in your life. Starting March 2020​,​ upon my return from Costa Rica and while in Quarantine​,​ I decided to find a new hobby. One thing I knew is that I have a love for colours and I prefer living in colour! So​,​ I started painting with vivid acrylics. At first​,​ my fascination for landscapes​,​ sunsets and animals were my daily inspiration​,​ combined with a love for colorful pop-art and symbolism. Most recently​,​ I started painting abstracts and I haven't stopped since! I am fascinated by abstracts and its different interpretations​,​ it is free​,​ it is fun​,​ it is the best way to find and embrace beauty in imperfection. Art is not about Perfection after all! Today​,​ Painting is having a tremendous impact on my life and I am really passionate about my art uplifting and inspiring others. I hope my paintings bring everyone joy​,​ warmth and a dose of positivity! Cheers! Norma
