Norma is primarily a relief printmaker. Her love of paper brought her to this media and the fascination with the process has kept her working in this discipline. Printmaking is a rich experience, visually as well as tactile.  Printed from an artist made matrix of wood, lino, Styrofoam or gelatin each hand pulled print is an original.  The color work is usually white line relief; the black and white work is typically wood block print.
