Norton’s Gallery Is Again

Open

In 1991 Marlene and I moved to Shoreham  Vermont where we partnered to establish a new gallery in a barn along the shores of Lake Champlain. 

With her infectious smile and boundless energy the gallery flourished. 

With her communication skills she established a website and became the voice of the new gallery. She did the photography and accounting. She worked tirelessly on plantings of flowers and vegetables and kept the gallery in top shape. 

She gave me the energy and ability to concentrate solely on living out my dream of creating art. She was as much a part of Norton’s Gallery as I.

In her memory the UVM Medical Center in Burlington Vermont has established a fund to aid victims of and to do research on glioblastoma. This is a direct line of much needed help without any of the bureaucracy of large organizations. 

In the past I have made hundreds of cardinals who are often associated with visits from loved ones who have passed. 

With a $100 or more donation, 100% of which is totally deductible, I will give away one of these to each person contributing to her special fund — “Marlene’s Cardinals.”

Thank you for supporting glioblastoma patients, caregivers, and researchers at the UVM Cancer Center in memory of
Marlene Ann Thornton

Your donation will provide support for brain cancer patients and their caregivers, as well as research initiatives and clinical trials to advance treatment and care options.

Your gift makes a difference, thank you.

After donating you can pick up your cardinals at the gallery or I will ship them to you at no charge.

As you start south from the Fort Ti Ferry landing, traveling on Vermont Route 73, Norton’s Gallery gallery soon comes into view. An 8 by 10 foot reproduction of Grant Wood's American Gothic frames a backdrop of a sculpture field of spherical shaped orbs. The orbs are constructed of recycled concrete silo staves and represent Vermont's long history of ingenuity, self preservation and hard work.

The barns that follow have become special places for adults and children alike.
