Norma Jameson was born in 1933 in Burslem, Staffordshire. She studied at the Bath Academy of Art 1951-55, Liverpool University 1955-56 and Goldsmiths University, London. It was at Corsham, where the BAA was located, that Norma was taught by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis, who instilled into her the importance of colour and design. She studied painting and printmaking leading to her experimental work of the 1960’s and 70’s. Her lithographs and screen prints date from her time at Corsham.
She is the wife of painter Kenneth Jameson.
She is a member of The Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Kent Potters Association. She was a frequent exhibitor with the RBA and the ROI until her retirement. She also exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and provincial galleries and had many one person shows. She was also a fine potter and Batik artist. She was twice finalist in the Hunting Group Awards and the Scharf Prize for landscape.
Her paintings have been reproduced by Medici, Lings and Elgin Court and have been illustrated in a number of art books. Her works have been purchased by education authorities and by private collectors in the UK and abroad.
