Norma Greenwood and ARTYKIDSART

Artist/Educator

“At age five I fell in love with painting when I lived in the back of my grandfather’s paint store

in Brooklyn. It was my favorite place to play: Shiny paint cans, tubes of color and the smell

of linseed oil permeating the store were imprinted on me at a very early age. I especially love sharing the excitement and joy of art-making with children."
