Nora’s Kitchen also serves as overflow studio storage. Where a dining room table might be sits a crowded studio table where all the art magic happens. For larger pieces, she co-opts the spacious kitchen floor. The apartment in general serves as inspiration because many of Nora’s pieces document the spaces and adornments around her.
We begin our food adventures with a seriously fantastic juice Nora learned how to make while working in a cafe. Spinach! In juice! Try it now.
