Catherine Norr's whimsical pen and ink line drawings invite us into her secret garden to see, with fresh immediacy, the delightful faces, figures and spirits of the everyday natural world around us. Sometimes mischievous, sometimes poetic and tender, her black and white visual "short stories" capture a moment in time, communicate a simple, personal emotional energy and leave the viewer smiling.

Catherine's watercolors echo this sense of wonder and innocence. Her soft abstract impressions of nature reveal a gratitude for the simplest flower or stone that resonates with the heart of the viewer.

Catherine Norr grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Newcomb College, the Women's College at Tulane University. Catherine is a professional folksinger and voice talent. She now lives in Upstate New York where her works can be found in exhibits, shows and in private collections.
