Our very own Norma Harrack was interviewed by the Flair magazine recently, in an article published on Monday October 5, 2009.
Sanaa Studios congratulates you on your outstanding achievement. We are extremely proud of you and happy to have a dedicated, passionate professional who always strives for excellence here at Sanaa to share her love for this wonderful art form.
Working with her hands has brought her many accolades and on Heroes Day, another one will be added.
We speak of the Order of Distinction in the rank of Officer (OD) that will be bestowed upon Norma Rodney Harrack, renowned potter, artist and lecturer. Flair caught up with her and she oozed delight at receiving the award.
"Naturally, I am elated. It is an incredible honour to be recognised in this way by one's country," she said. Harrack recalled the moment she heard about the award.
"I was in my studio sketching ideas for my upcoming exhibition scheduled to be opened on October 25, when the amazing news was communicated to me. Obviously it was a pretty exciting moment."
Harrack said she always wanted to be an artist and that desire never left her consciousness.
"My love of art is interwoven with my love of nature. Nature's presence and sounds permeate my work. Natural phenomena have been an everlasting source of inspiration for my work," she explained.
