Hej,
I am Nora!

A multidisciplinary artist & creative facilitator

I make hand-painted worlds and creative experiences inspired by nature, travel, and the bond between humans and the living world.

ABOUT

Warmly welcome to my bright and colorful side of the Internet!

My name’s Nora Abou-Dabous and I’m a multidisciplinary artist and creative facilitator born and raised in Sweden with Lebanese & Palestinian roots. 

I create story-driven murals that bring color, symbolism and life to walls, celebrating animals, nature, and the emotional bond between humans and the living world. Nature, my travels, and living in different countries are all among the things that inspire my work. 

Creativity is at the heart of everything I do, with painting as my main focus. Beyond murals, I side-hustle as a professional face painter, I host my own creative woman’s circles and I facilitate art workshops and experiences for adults, corporations and companies - weaving art, community and storytelling together. 

I’m based in New Zealand at the moment and reside in North Shore, Auckland.

Three ways we can create together

Your wall deserves a story

Murals

A mural can completely transform how a space feels, bringing personality, color and good energy.

Maybe you want to bring a little more nature and greenery into your café. Maybe you have a blank wall that’s just begging for color. Maybe you want your yoga studio to feel more harmonious, your restaurant to feel more alive, or your child's bedroom to become its own little world. 

That's where I magically pop in. I create colorful, uplifting and unique nature-inspired murals that are made specifically for the space, the people and the story behind it.

Every mural begins with your vision. From the first idea → to the sketch → to the wall.

A little color, a whole lot of joy

Face & body painting

Face and body painting is my other little world of creativity — and one of my favorite ways to bring joy, especially to children. 

From colorful festivals and markets to private parties and children's birthdays, I create playful and glittery designs that lifts people’s spirits. Paints are completely safe. I use cosmetic-grade hypo-allergenic paints that easily wash off with warm water. I paint ages 3-99.  Hourly rate is $100 and that includes paints, glitter, set-up and cleanup. I’m available for: Private parties · Festivals · Markets · Artistic photo shoots · Children’s birthday parties · Community events

Making space for people to create

Creative facilitation

As a matter of fact, I also design and facilitate creative experiences that bring people together through art, play, conversation, teambuilding and curiosity. In simpler terms, I help you

My workshops can be adapted for adults, companies, teams, communities and groups — whether you're looking for a relaxed creative afternoon, an afterwork experience, team connection or something a little more meaningful. No previous artistic experience is needed. You don't have to be "good at art". You just have to be willing to play. I can facilitate everything from guided painting and creative workshops to women's circles and collaborative art experiences. I bring all the art materials, exercises and the right energy. From 5 to 50 people per session. Available for greater Auckland area.
