Born in Leeds, his love of landscape was nurtured on long boyhood bicycle rides in the Yorkshire Dales. Norman wrote ‘I really needed to understand the land I was born in, to be back standing in my own muck’. His work, over the past thirty years, has gained him an international reputation and Norman has work inTate and New York’s MoMA. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1991 and in 2000 was made Senior Fellow, Royal College of Art. He was made CBE for services to engraving and printing in 2007. You can see more about him here
