Nora Hitchcock is a Minnesota-based artist exploring themes of the inner child and concepts of what it means to be “home”. Working with oil paint, colored pencil, charcoal, and textiles; she specializes in portraits and figure drawing. She is interested in the practice of art as a way to capture and preserve memories, often working with close friends and family members as models. Taking scenes from real life, she adds ethereal elements to create mystical environments.
