In addition to fishing, Norman possessed a remarkable talent for wood and stone carving. His hands to transform raw materials into intricate works of art. Norman's creations brought beauty and inspiration those fortunate enough to witness them. Not content with just one artistic outlet, Norman the world of painting as well.
