Norma Herring

Member | Presentation Committee

Born and raised in the Kansas City area, Norma Herring enjoyed a successful career in nutrition and healthcare administration before a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis in 2001 inspired her to pursue her lifelong passion for watercolor painting.

Since retiring, Norma has devoted herself to mastering the watercolor medium, earning recognition in juried exhibitions across the United States and internationally, including exhibitions in Qingdao, China, and Barcelona, Spain. Her distinctive style often incorporates iridescent watercolor, metallic acrylics, and archival gel pen to add depth and luminosity to her work.

Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, Norma creates detailed watercolor paintings that celebrate trees, flowers, wildlife, dramatic skies, and the ever-changing play of light. Through each painting, she hopes to share the wonder and joy she finds in nature.
