Norah Borden

Norah Borden is a Canadian artist currently residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. She graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1995. Norah has traveled extensively throughout Asia and Europe, and draws upon these experiences as inspiration for her landscapes.

"My vision is to paint the wind and light, everything else is consequential. Many people see the tumultuous storms in my paintings. For me, it is not so much about the storm, but more the effects of light within them. By painting a backdrop of a wind swept sky and water, one can truly see the radiance of light. These paintings are an inward journey where one can explore deeper, more complex realms within their own experiences."

From a tranquil countryside to a windy seascape, Norah draws upon her experiences to articulate a wealth of emotions. Her time spent in the wine country of the Okanagan, Alsace, Burgundy and the Barolo region of Italy gives her paintings a quality that resonates with the intrinsic beauty of the countryside. In contrast, the incandescent qualities of western Canada, create a moody atmosphere revealing the mystical influences of wind and light on water.
