For Ann Weaver Norton, art was a way of life from the moment she picked up a pencil. She was only five when she began drawing, and eight when she forayed into sculpting. So it probably came as no surprise to those who knew her that she ultimately pursued a career in art at New York City's National Academy of Design, Arts Student League of New York, and the Cooper Union.
At Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, you can see many of her finest works on display. The beautifully landscaped garden showcases pieces in bronze, stone, and wood, and they span 40 years' worth of work. Some of the sculptures stand more than 12 feet tall, creating an imposing presence in the garden. But Norton's strokes are so meticulous, especially when it comes to her abstract Gateways, that you won't be able to stop staring at any of the pieces, regardless of their size.
