Norma Pratt

Artist’s Statement

When I paint, I am completely absorbed in my work.  I can travel to exotic places, sit in a beautiful garden, or maybe sunbathe on a deserted beach.

I hope that you will feel the same way when looking at my pictures.

Artist’s Bio

Norma was born and raised in England where her artistic talent was recognized early and was encouraged to pursue her abilities.  She studied art in England and has taken many classes in California with a variety of well-known instructors.

She has traveled throughout Western Europe and to many other parts of the world.  Her background and travels have been a strong influence on her work.

She started painting professionally in the early 70s with oil; took a long break to raise her children, and has now changed her media to watercolor, which she finds more challenging.

Norma has been active in showing and selling her watercolor paintings since 1990 to both local collectors and visitors from all over the world.  She can be found, showing her work, most weekends on the lawn in front of the Carlsbad Inn, Carlsbad, CA.

Norma is currently an active member of COAL – Carlsbad Oceanside Art League

Her past memberships include the:  San Diego Watercolor Society; San Diego Art Guild; Escondido Art Association; Lake San Marcos Art Association

    “I have always had a passion for photography and I am thrilled every time I look through my viewfinder and see a beautiful scene unfold. Part of the fun of taking thousands of photographs on a trip is to be able to share my photos and experiences with others when I return. I am honored every time someone tells me they enjoy my work.” — Ann hurd

    Artist Statement I create paintings using silk as my canvas. The brilliance of the color using silk dyes on luxurious silk is amazing. Every time I start a new painting it is breathtaking when the brush touches the silk and the dyes begin to flow. Every single piece I create is hand-painted on silk with…

    Raised in Europe, and moving frequently, my art was the only thing that always went with me, as much never fit into a suitcase. Therefore, I learned to pull from memories. My fundamental interest is to create works that call for the participation of the audience, extend one’s natural curiosities, share in the joy of the process of development, and evoke basic human emotion.

We live in a world of speed and instant gratification, often missing the beauty and magical moments of the world around us. I like to harness those moments and the occasional humor they suggest…
