Artist Biography

Norman was born in London and trained as a graphic designer. After he met Moira, who worked in the art trade, the couple moved north, initially to the Lakes, where he pursued a career as an artist. After a spell in Gosforth, Newcastle, they moved to Low Etherley in Bishop Auckland. This period saw Norman develop his own distinctive style using various screen printing techniques creating unusual textures and patterns. He concentrated on images of buildings and landscapes across the North of England, but in particular scenes of Durham Cathedral.
