Sue
Norton-Scott creates mixed media art that asks people to
think differently about contemporary topics.
Norton-Scott grew up in upstate New York, but she wasn’t
cut out to live in cold climates. After graduating from
Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY, the young teacher
moved cross country and planted roots in Chandler,
Arizona. Now, thirty-some years later, she is retired
from the Mesa Public Schools and lets her creative side
flourish. Her surrealistic, 3-dimensional art has been
displayed in New York City, Chicago, and Sacramento; as
well as in the Mesa Contemporary Arts Gallery.
Although retired, teaching continues to be a passion.
Adult students from around the world enrolled in Rio
Salado College’s online Art History classes benefit from
her hands-on expertise. Fifth graders in the Tempe
Elementary School District simply adore the “Self
Portrait with a Twist” mixed media workshop that was
developed and is taught by Norton-Scott for their Studio
Artist Program. Always looking for unusual and creative
opportunities, a current project involves collaborating
with a research scientist to develop a piece of
informational art for the “Phosphorus Sustainability
Summit” at Arizona State University. Never ordinary,
constantly pushing boundaries, Norton-Scott is always
ready to embrace cutting-edge visual ideas.
