Recognized as one of Canada's foremost painters, Nori Peter devoted her time and talent to the depiction of native life - primarily the life of the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic. Her great insight into the Inuit life and her keen sense of respect and admiration for these native Canadians is amply evidenced in her lovingly realized portrayals of these strong yet gentle people.

Nori Peter studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest where she developed her natural talent to the highest perfection. Emigrating to Canada in 1957, she now resided north of Peterborough, Ontario, on an Ojibwa Indian reserve where she devoted her time to her many artistic talents.

Her wonderful paintings are much in demand not only as reproductions and greeting cards but have also been successfully translated into a series of collector plates.

Regrettably, Nori passed away in March '09, after a battle with cancer. But she has touched the lives of countless people through her beautiful art and will continue to do so for many years to come.
