As an LA native, Keyes believes that one of the city's biggest creative forces is its nature. While a budding artist, her work was influenced by frequent visits to the Angeles National Forest and appreciation of its ecosystem, natural history, and numerous wilderness areas. Her relationship to her artwork, however, has evolved through the years, consistently paving the way for new, unexplored terrain.
Her heavily layered artworks are impressive from afar, but only when they're seen up close can one truly appreciate the amount of work and detail involved. Keyes' layers upon layers of media, whether paint or collage, convey the artist's own intellectual, emotional, and spiritual journey, resonating long afterwards with the viewer. "If I am able to carve out moments in sound or paint for others to delve into, examine, and hopefully leave with a slightly different perspective, then I have done my job"

Nora Keyes combines painting and collage for intricate, multidimensional pieces. The absorbing work can be scrutinized from feet or inches away, maintaining the viewer’s gaze at every corner. The work can feel otherworldly, yet entirely human in their contemplation and introspection.
