Nori Thorne
Nori Thorne is an award–winning pastelist celebrated for her depictions of the people, artifacts, lifestyle and the land of the American Southwest. She works to capture a strong sense of place and secrets revealed through the mastery of her medium — capturing changing light and color with formidable drawing skill. She is undaunted by the challenges of working en plein air to render her desert scenes. Cayoneering, which always calls for endurance while packing in her pastels and panels, is just part of the joy of making art about this rugged region. She is equally at home with revealing the unique beauty of the lifestyle and peoples of the American Southwest with sensitive feel and authenticity.
