Norah Strebel

SLCC VAD 2004 / Graphic Design

Norah Strebel, the daughter of a landscape painter, grew up in art classes, exploring artistic pursuits in sculpture, drawing, painting, and photography. Norah lives in Las Vegas as a graphic designer still enjoying her artistic pursuits in the form of stained glass and mosaics. Outside the studio, Norah is an avid competitor in canine agility.
After watching a documentary, Norah wanted to capture the serene beauty and underwater athleticism of the sea turtle as a mosaic. The challenge of recreating this unique animal required numerous sketches, several hundred colored glass chips, over one hundred hours of labor, seven cuts to four fingers, and a spat of advice from Dad!
