Nora Abbott was born at Areyonga and has spent most of her career painting independently and with Tjarlirli Art, before joining Tangentyere Artists in 2020. Nora paints landscapes with a distinctive figurative style, playing with proportions and using a multitude of colours. These paintings are full of life, with birds soaring among the clouds and Anangu living alongside bush animals.

Nora also depicts her lived experiences on Country; helicopter rides, shopping at the community store after an unsuccessful hunting trip, and memories of swimming in waterholes as a child. She paints stories passed down to her from her family, and relays the significance of her time in Kaltukatjara (Docker River). She travelled through that Country with her grandfather learning the important Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), and when and where to find the best bush foods. Her grandfather also shared his personal history with her, including recollections of meeting Lasseter for the first time, a story which she now paints. Nora also holds the Two Women Tjukurrpa, painting the two women travelling, looking around for a home.
