Juli Norton

Juli Norton has spent her entire life in the Eastern Cape, developing a deep connection to the region’s landscapes and people. She pursued her passion for art by studying Fine Art at NMMU in Port Elizabeth, later completing her PGCE at Rhodes University. For the past 18 years, she has dedicated herself to shaping young artists as a high school Visual Arts teacher.

Her paintings are inspired by the vibrancy of South Africa, celebrating its beauty through bold, expressive colors. Drawing influence from Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh and the dynamic Fauvist movement, her work captures idealized snapshots of life, reflecting joy, energy, and appreciation for the world around her.

Juli believes South Africans are privileged to live in a country rich in culture and breathtaking scenery. Through her art, she seeks to highlight this beauty, offering viewers a compelling and uplifting perspective on the spaces they call home.
