Artist Statement:
Yoyita (Dr. Gloria M. Norris)
prefers to portray the realism
of the human figure. In
addition to oil on canvas, she
sculpts portrait busts and
human figure, she is working
in fresco and tempera using
techniques of Renaissance and
Byzantine painting, including
the mixture of some of her own
paints from pigments. She is a
multi-faceted artist from
miniatures to murals,
fascinated by human beings.
Yoyita was born in Managua,
Nicaragua, Central America.
She has had the opportunity to
study original works by the
masters in museums around the
world. She started Medical
School at the National
Autonomous University of
Nicaragua at the age of 15.
Unable to complete her studies
there because of a civil war
and eventual communist
takeover, she completed her
studies and residency at
U.P.A.E.P, a private Catholic
university in Puebla, Mexico.
She and her family
subsequently found refuge in
the United States. Yoyita
decided to pursue her artistic
creativity full time in 1997.
In addition to portraits,
Yoyita is able to use her
knowledge of the human body to
compose religious scenes.
She is a member of the
American Society of Portrait
Artists, the Society of
Guilders, Sculpture Society,
International...
