Joe Norman, Associate - Loveland, CO
Joe Norman
Joe Norman is a Colorado-based artist and elected member of the National Scuptors’ Guild, who specializes in site responsive public art that encourages interaction with his sculptures; relying on the perspective of the viewer to see the dual imagery emerge from abstraction. “Interaction with art in this way can change one’s perspective on their place in nature. My intent is to make art that contributes to a wider conversation about justice and care and our impact on the world.”

With a background in engineering, design consulting and product design plus a degree from Stanford and a bit of Middle School teaching in the mix, Joe Norman approaches art from a different perspective than most artists, and that’s the focus of the majority of his sculptures - the viewer’s perspective. How you stand in the environment of the sculpture, dictates what you see. Adjust to another side, you see something else. This can be a girl who transforms into a monarch butterfly, or words of opposing meaning living in the same space like ‘peace’ and ‘chaos’. We hope you get the chance to interact with his art, it can change ones perspective on their place in nature.
Joe graduated with a degree in Product Design from Stanford and worked with design consulting firms for a number of years before teaching middle school and customizing vintage motorcycles. For the past ten years he has been a full-time sculptor, focusing on handmade and site-specific works informed by the intersection of the natural and human-made environment.
As a past Artist-In-Residence at Great Basin National Park, Joe frequently speaks on art and its role in social justice. His work is in permanent public and private collections across the United States. He currently maintains his studio in Loveland just north of Denver, Colorado.
