After my 4 year old son was kidnapped and disappeared in 1990 I spent many years investigating the reasons why. I studied world religions and philosophies trying to get a handle on my loss. This also led me to investigate my own upbringing and history, having been raised in the military it was expected that I too would become a warrior. Men are brought up with indoctrinations that are supposed to prepare us to navigate our world and society. Many indigenous peoples have intricate rites of passage to manhood that do prepare their young men to be hunters, warriors that can function well in their societies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1535498466093-WYPVHAW8X79HV136Y6Z8/Forest+Goddess.jpg ARTWORK - Forest Goddess Forest Goddess 15” x 111” x 4” Hand Etched Plexiglass with Shadows and Reflections mounted and Framed with Wood, Gold Leaf 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1628563811820-RYQOS1LOLZMI4F4G1FWX/IMG_3877.jpeg ARTWORK - Configuring the presentation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1473278412238-AD56C78LI7PCAQ5GKFFT/IMG_5795.JPG ARTWORK - Smaller Works This is a sideview detail shot of Subteranean Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1629647194592-60O022FF5DC5LFYASEUN/img_5982.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1644600761070-SNWUQ76JF9R8AQPOLO4G/901EC439-0E97-42B9-A9EC-2DE1D997F71E.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1660865191496-C5KH302W69DR2TF0EZ2T/IMG_9713.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1660865617405-ZYPAWFAWRKD6MS0U4TZQ/IMG_9424.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1710641204448-CN83G1HNTOEUM2CINP1P/IMG_0523.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1711809385388-0A16SOZD4WBPTSVF3KWZ/IMG_7782.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1712697439763-683HIWCWF6XSR4K8ROOB/IMG_1174.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1712698648480-EZCHZA0LX4MI0VMAVTJF/IMG_1201.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1434645436099-VILBMN4V2KOL2O0AYPT9/Ghosts+1inch.jpg ARTWORK - Can You Move It All Up One Inch 2015 norton curated exhibition at ArtHelix Gallery Bushwick Brooklyn NY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1713318288432-43EVVH5N6EKD8OWZENCP/IMG_4906.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1713649534869-URPF9YRFZUXCSB1Q59R3/IMG_1249.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1473440932000-GHTKXDMS2QN02P11BNLE/IMG_3691.JPG ARTWORK - Swing Theory 1999 96" x 106" x 20" Hand Carved Plexiglass, Colored Plexiglass, Acrylic Paint, Holographic Papers, Fluorescent Lights and Plywood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1719441668071-OI9I6VXPQ7TQ7BXP9Z8I/IMG_8969.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1740967917837-EOXIX0GV65HJMEVM897O/IMG_1376.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1747660551607-JL3W7I5YKH9OP37TYLSD/D4B07935-0AB7-466D-9CDF-CCE15A92F91C.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1747757500162-8T1UJVR9J52D8R2VIJMB/IMG_2064.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1660864562561-K3TYX9TWA6QYNZCQ9Z2W/IMG_0313.jpeg ARTWORK - Subterranean Excursion Acrylic Paint on Repurposed Vinyl Advertising Tarp 132” x 360” (11 Feet by 30 Feet) 2022 A Mythical American Adventure A Galactic Commute/ A Subterranean Excursion Some people ride the subway. Others endure it. Norton sees the white tiled walls more like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on the raft winding along the Mississippi River, looking up at the night sky, reflecting on the stars and their origins. Stretching thirty feet long, this 11 foot tall painting isn’t just a depiction of being in the subway — this is a reimagining of the daily journey. A personal mythos map for the interior mind. When riding this train the only stop is at your own Planetarium, somewhere outside your daily self. What makes this journey even wilder is this is the first painting the artist has made in twenty years. For two decades, he was making work — yes — but not painting. Not in this wide, immersive, unfiltered way. Before this came a series of plexiglass shadow pieces — carved, not brushed. Chiseled light. Subway riders as silhouettes caught mid-transit, mid-thought, mid-exhale. So this painting becomes a return. But not a return to the past and Not a Singularity. It’s a personal Big Bang, the outward expansion of a gifted mind. A re-entry into painting that feels less like picking up a brush and more like setting off flares in a dark tunnel, saying: I’m still here. And look what I saw down there. This isn’t just a painting of the subway. It’s what happens when you drag the life of an entire galaxy underground and dare it to commute with you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1748361817098-55XOQHT1R35VZ3DALY6F/IMG_3234.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1613678968303-MN6S0MZXTKAOLZI1OSBH/9BBB1050-F9F2-4BF9-9E89-8C40857E80C9_1_201_a.jpg ARTWORK - Ghosts in the Machine: 3 Dryads and a Potted PlantCelebrating Spring in the Suway Ghosts in the Machine: 3 Dryads and a Potted Plant Celebrating Spring in the Subway Charcoal, Tape, Pastels on Paper 85” x 240” 2015-2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1753225754986-LIW0QFPH2A7I9UCFTVFN/IMG_1522.jpeg ARTWORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/1764529350897-N370SCPFBW9RB17XDKS1/IMG_4163.jpeg ARTWORK http://www.nortonart.net/new-index daily 0.75 2024-09-22 http://www.nortonart.net/contat daily 0.75 2025-05-24 http://www.nortonart.net/resume daily 0.75 2025-12-08 http://www.nortonart.net/writings daily 0.75 2014-07-03 http://www.nortonart.net/writings-2 daily 0.75 2014-07-03 http://www.nortonart.net/5583075ae4b06d2f278f12b8 daily 0.75 2015-06-18 http://www.nortonart.net/about daily 0.75 2025-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538fc230e4b08520c8aef3c0/bc81b8b6-38e9-4ae2-98ac-ce6e9aaef660/IMG_2064.jpeg About http://www.nortonart.net/reviews daily 0.75 2025-05-23
