ARTISTS
ANNA NORRIS
Anna Norris is a plein air painter and co-founder of Norris Arts Studio & Gallery in Camas, Washington. She has journeyed from Hawaii, through the lush forests of the PNW, the deserts and coasts of California, Nevada, Utah, and beyond. These are experiences that have enriched her artistic palette and subject matter.
Her artistic journey began with pen and ink drawings, eventually transitioning to acrylics and oils during her college years. Anna’s work is deeply inspired by the interplay of light, shadow, and shape, often capturing the natural beauty of the Camas-Washougal area.
Together with her husband, Ted Norris, a seasoned ceramicist, Anna established Norris Arts in 2018. Their studio offers a range of art classes and events, fostering a community space for creativity and artistic exploration.
Anna’s paintings are featured in local galleries, including the Attic Gallery in Camas, where her works continue to contribute to the vibrant art scene of the Pacific Northwest.
