I created this painting for the Art-A-Whirl Silent Auction this past May. It has underlying texture created with acrylic modeling paste, acrylic paint, gold leaf and collaged block printed images. Alas it didn’t sell. So still for sale 36″ x 36″ with gallery wrapped edges No fame is needed $1600.

My name is Norma Hanlon. I am a visual artist working in several media.

I create mixed media paintings using acrylic paint, textured surfaces, collage block printed images, golf and silver leaf and other papers.

I also create ceramic sculptures, mostly figurative, usually whimsical.

I emboss sheet copper with a small rotary press. The embossed copper is then mounted on wood and I apply a liquid patina to the metal to give it an aged look.

I live in Minneapolis near Lake Harriet.
