Hi, my name is Nora Tunggadevi, and I’m a disabled multimedia artist based in Toronto. Growing up in Indonesia, accessibility was limited for me due to my disability, which made it challenging to move around and express myself freely. That’s where my curiosity for art really took root. As I explored different ways people create and share art, my passion only grew. I taught myself nail art, crochet, beaded bracelet making, and painting self-portraits. I also enjoy web development and game design. At heart, I’m someone who loves learning, experimenting, and keeping an open mind when it comes to art in all its forms.I approach my disability as something to work with rather than against; it is the strength that grounds and shapes my work.
