Chrissy Norman

Chrissy has a background of watercolour painting and began printmaking at Suffolk College in 1999. She soon decided that etching was for her as it offered scope to develop her love of drawing along with the experimental element that came with all the processes involved. She went on to improve her skills and has been fascinated by the medium ever since.

She is particularly known for her etchings and colour aquatints and more recently has turned to monotypes and carborundum prints for larger, less detailed work. Her inspiration comes from the natural world, looking for patterns in subject matter defined by light, shadows and season, often cropping an image to produce negative shapes.

Her work has been purchased for the collections of The Palace of Westminster and also Colchester & Ipswich Museums and her carborundum print was included in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2023.

She has been a member of Sudbourne Park Printmakers since 2006 and is now a regular etching tutor at the workshops held there.
