Noura Ali-Ramahi is a Lebanese-born Emirati self-taught artist whose first experience in artwork started in the early 1990s while she was a high school student in Dubai. She dabbled in pencil and charcoal drawing as well as silk painting. During her university years in Beirut, she was drawn to the hand-crafted clay pottery markets and began painting on clay. Using the same acrylic medium she used on clay, she began in the late 1990s to produce paintings on paper and canvas.

Her work is abstract expressionist with human figures being a prevailing subject in many of her early paintings. She has produced artwork on metal using mixed media. The metal works are shot with 9mm bullets which Noura shot herself. She had her first exhibition in January 2016 entitled A Picture and A Thousand Words, held at The Space , TWOFOUR54). The majority of the artworks sold, raising funds for a charity organization in Abu Dhabi. Her second exhibition was in June 2016 and was almost sold out. The majority of Funds from that exhibit went to help refugees via a donation to UNHCR.

She participated in World Art Dubai in 2017. In October 2018 she held her first solo gallery exhibition entitled RHAPSODY at N2N Gallery in Abu Dhabi. In 2019 she began producing large-scale collages using mixed media including paper as well as plastic bags.
