Talking to Artists

With Painter Ramona Nordal (Episode 62)


Listen Later

Synopsis: Ramona talked about how a Bic pen became her signature "tool". She talked about her interest in opposites - old/new, traditional/unconventional and past/present. Ramona shared her inspirations behind her "famous people" portraits....understanding their thoughts and beliefs before they were famous. We talked about hard lessons and how this can often lead to a breakthrough.

About the Artist: Ramona tries to push the boundaries of traditional figurative/portrait painting by choosing an unconventional mixture of color and patterns within her work. Nordal studied at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. Studying under internationally renowned Canadian artist Dennis Burton she focused on colour theory, anatomy drawing and painting. Nordal’s work has been shown in Canada, the United States, Kuwait, Europe and most recently Australia.
