Meet Nora Sims

From Argentina to Art 

My art adventure began in Argentina, where 'art' was more of a whispered interest than a pursuit. My parent's ambitions fast forwarded us to the U.S., where the 'American Dream' took the spotlight, leaving art in the 'when and if there's time' category.

Love and the school of forestry led Dan and I to Sedona, a time, when the community had a population of less than 3,000 people, but was a budding art hub.  In this scenic haven, my creativity took a back seat to a 40 year career as a real estate broker. 

As a self-taught artist, my passion is to help the average person learn how to pursue their own creativity so that they can experience the pleasures of discovering for themselves, themselves in ways they never knew existed

Blessed with curiosity, creativity, and discipline, my art knows no bounds. I am fueled by a 'what if?' mindset, each piece I create is a unique gem. No limits, just the pursuit of crafting something intriguing. My medium? Whatever strikes my fancy, with a generous sprinkle of repurposed materials, because everything in life transforms into something else, and upcycling is kinder to the earth, even with the extra effort it demands.

My creations are signed as Danora, because when my artistic side stalls, Dan’s practical side gets me out of the bind. 

With no roadmap at hand, the journey is metaphoric, satisfying, and produces visually appealing results with a whimsical twist. 

Thank you for joining us on this special journey – it's art with a twist!".
