from Marta Bonilla, Victor Cardero, Gustavo Bures,
and Pedro Morales. She sought international teachers
as well at conventions, such as Min Hsuan Lo from
Taiwan, and Budi Sulistyo from Indonesia. She also
took a course with a Taiwanese man that specialized
in driftwood.
What attracted Norma to bonsai? “A passion for
nature.”
What is her favorite tree? “I like both the Flamboyan
and the Buttonwood trees.”
And her bonsai wishes? She wishes all she had to
do was trim her trees and put them in good shape
rather than all the other day-to-day tasks she must
accomplish. Also she wishes for more time to teach
others the art.
