When we asked Norma how long she'd been painting, she said "72 years". She got her first easel on her third birthday as a gift from her parents --- both of whom were artists. The only art training she has comes simply from working alongside her parents. She enjoys painting primitives of "things going on" ... village scenes, parades, family reunions, festivals, weddings, country fairs ... all featuring dozens of people caught up in the activities. Although Norma does naive style paintings on canvas, a few years ago she hit upon the idea of doing her paintings on old fashioned schoolroom slates. These charming paintings have become her "hallmark". She likes them because they're very affordable. "Anyone can have art in their lives; even young people." Norma's work is in the permanent collection of the Hurn Museum of Folk Art.
