A Conversation With Danielle Norris: A visual artist's journey from the South to the North and beyond

Inside the Episode with Mitch Hampton “From South to North: A conversation on visual art, Geography and personal biography with Danielle Norris” Danielle Norris is an artist who I knew very well when I was living in Boston. She had been working, among other gigs, as a waitress in one of the oldest and more famous of spots in Cambridge  . You can see that she did the artwork for Tyler Bejoinas' album on which I played keyboards. But even as I knew her personally, there were many things I did not know about her art until much later and this opened a whole world in much the same way as her artwork is unafraid to open up a world. The word that Danielle first used when describing her artwork was “realism”. And notably and uniquely, her work is unafraid to use representations of culture and real life, many times quite popular ones. Her work comes out of her own experience as well as the images and symbols of pop culture and photography. I really enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot from it. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much we enjoyed doing it and hope you engage with her artwork and more info in the links provided here.” Danielle’s Bio Danielle Norris is a painter working to explore the framework of conceptual photo realism.
