Norm has been drawing since he was a little boy.  When his mother had him stand in a corner, he always had a pencil in hand.  Norm, of course, drew on the wall to pass the time more quickly.

Norm's reputation for drawing caricatures followed him everywhere he went.  More often than not, he was asked to do a card or a picture for friends and acquaintances.  He would observe a special something about his subject, then he would create a unique and treasured drawing.

In the 1970's, Norm decided he would like to do water colors.  His first class was in Mendocino.  He found his medium - this was something he loved doing.

Norm's day job was as a graphic artist from which he retired in 1992.  You could then find him with sketch pad in hand, especially in the forests of Tahoe, the Mendocino Coast, Sonoma County and, of course, his own special Monterey Coast.
