Autorenporträt

Norval Watson was born in Australia in 1957. He sketched prolifically in his childhood but did not respond well to formal art education in school. He began building custom surfboards in his early teens. After leaving school Norval worked in print media, and made several short films. In 1990 he created a pop-up exhibition of paintings in a warehouse in South Melbourne, and has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions since then. In 2006 Norval's spinal cord was crushed in a cycling accident and he became an incomplete quadriplegic for life. He has lived and worked in a small town on Australia's far east coast since 1995, and he likes to make new art every day.
