Nora Riggs' (b. 1972) paintings draw on a diverse array of influences, from the canon of Western art to the visual vernacular of mid-century Americana and 1990s popular culture. Her practice is characterized by an introspective yet slyly irreverent engagement with narrative, often centering on female figures, domestic spaces, and emotional memory. With compositions that are at once intimate and disorienting, she explores the complexities of maternal identity, cultural inheritance, and psychological interiority.
