Elnora Nokes

Elnora is a collage artist from Olathe, Kansas. She is retired from a career as an Art Teacher for ages pre-school through 12th grade, and she also taught workshops for Primary and Early Education teachers.

Her work is inspired by the landscape and the forms, textures, colors, and shapes of the built environment. The interactions between these land forms and the human additions are the motivation for her images.

She uses personal and found photographs, hand made papers, magazine pages, found objects, and acrylic and watercolor paints to create abstract landscapes and still life collages.

Her work has been shown in juried exhibitions all across the country as well as several galleries in the Kansas City Area.   She is a signature member of the National Collage Society where her work has been included in several exhibits and won awards.
