Norene became interested in oil painting as a teenager when her mother surprised her with a set of oil paints, created an area for her to work on their porch and the rest is, as they say,  history. She has always painted subjects that she finds interesting, and so does her clientele. She moved from oils to acrylics for a period of time and is currently working on new techniques combining mediums, which helps to keep her passion for art alive.
