Born and raised in Wallowa County, Oregon, Mr Norman grew up on a farm along the Lostine River where at an early age he liked to draw, photograph and carve wildlife and the natural environment. His first formal training began at Enterprise High School exploring drawing, painting, sculpting and the potter’s wheel.
Working in bronze production for the past 30 years, Norman uses his intimate knowledge of the process to produce his own line of fine art castings in his shop for the past 17 years near Enterprise, Oregon. Over the years, Norman has participated in shows and displayed in galleries across the United States. His work is also enjoyed by collectors throughout the country and in Europe.
“Drawing inspiration for my work from the beauty and grace of the natural environment, I strive to reflect this in my paintings and bronze sculptures, so the viewer can evoke a memory, emotion, or share in a captured moment in time. The bronze sculpture of a life-size bald eagle “Heritage” depicts a proud icon of North America perched looking intently over his surroundings. Faced with dwindling numbers from a variety of factors, the bald eagle has made a remarkable comeback and is once again taking its place among the most regal of the large birds of prey,” said Norman
