Renner, Norma (December 17, 1932 - ????)

Norma Renner (b. December 17, 1932) was an American artist who specialized in wood carvings. Born in Key West, Renner was a self-proclaimed self-taught craftsman. She began painting at a young age and studied art at Barry College in Miami for one year, but taught herself how to be a wood carver. Her inspiration came from her admiration for wood carvings created by Mario Sanchez depicting historic Key West. She started creating wood carvings around 1972, and by the mid-1990s had created over 340 works.
