Painter, sculptor, and muralist Ashley Nora has always had a passion for turning nothing into something. Growing up poor in Mississippi, Nora used art as a way to escape: “Art was how I would run away from home without ever leaving.”
After Hurricane Katrina, Nora moved to Indianapolis where she earned a degree in chemistry. However, Nora eventually combined her love of chemistry and creativity into painting. Nora took a leap of faith and quit her job to become a full time artist choosing to pursue her passion.
Now, you can find Nora's powerful narrative murals and paintings all over the globe, and within the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. She also travels to Swaziland where Nora spends time inspiring young adults with the power of painting.
