About

Carrie Norton, Green Bay, WI

My main work is custom designed, hand painted wood and jewelry boxes.  Customers select a theme.  I throroughly research the theme for overall best presentation and that is how I begin the process.  I have been trained in portraits and did most of my earlier work in this area (pencil then moving onto oils/canvas).  The focus on my work is what the customer wants and how I can portray it in a manner they are pleased with (contempary, realistic, etc).  I have recently traveled to New York City to deliver 1 out of 4 pieces I have been commissioned to complete.  It is the grandfather's wish they will become heirlooms for generations to come. 

MY ART HISTORY:  I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ART SINCE I WAS A YOUNG CHILD.  I RECEIVED SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS TO ATTEND THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY ART PROGRAMS.  THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I HAVE CONTINUED TO LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS DEVELOP MY OWN.  IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PAINTINGS OR JEWELRY DESIGNS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK
