Destanne Norris
Destanne is a professional artist with an MFA degree from the University of Tasmania, who explores the universe in paint and words. She turns to nature as a retreat and as an environment to play in which inspires her creativity. Destanne's artwork organically transitioned from the land and mountains, through the water and some fire, then into the sky before venturing into the vastness of space and the mysterious cosmos landscape. Her work has been exhibited on three continents and has been collected by hundreds of art collectors.
Destanne is renowned for her use of colours, shapes and the mystic which is born from the tragic loss of her young daughter. A story which is touchingly told in her award-winning book, "Leah's Gift" and a documentary film, "Beneath the Painted Surface".
Destanne has a unique ability to reveal and mirror "inscape and landscape" in her painting. She communicates her intuitive knowledge along with her skills, education and experience as an artist and published author, when she inspires and guides others in discovering their ability to create art and write. She's passionate about sharing her gifts through lectures, demonstrations, artist-in-residence programs, and workshops.
Destanne lived and played on Silver Star Mountain for many years managing a boutique resort and now loves to share this magical place that she continues to enjoy, with others.
