Nori has had many past lives in India, Egypt and Europe. In this lifetime, she remembers all that came before and purposely surrounds herself with dear friends and family from past lives.
Nori loves people and earned a masters degree from Western Oregon State College in youth and family counseling (1992). She worked as an adolescent counselor for a few years then returned to writing. Her first book was published by the University of Illinois Press.
Steamboats play a central role in Nori's life because of her family's involvement in saving the Delta Queen Steamboat from 1966 to 1976. Although she hated the smoke-belching boats in past lives, she now cherishes them as relics of American. Her site, Steamboats.com, has become a major hub of the online steamboat world.
"Steamboat people are the most amazing people. We have a tight-knit community that actually started more than a hundred years ago, but has gone online in a big way since the late nineties," Nori says.
Nori now lives a simple life in the two beautiful states of California and Arizona. She shies away from the spotlight, but in 1998 registered a domain to display her art: NoriLand at Surrealist.org. She works mainly in oil paint, pastels and watercolor. She calls her style abstract-surrealism, depicting images of NoriLand that affirm positive dreams and faith. Her favorite artists are Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso. The NoriLand abstract creatures in some of her oil paintings are on loan from author and artist Desmond Morris, the Secret Surrealist. Her inner art muse is Vincent van Gough.
