Just a few kind words from the “Dear Jen” letters you have sent me over the years. I always appreciate your encouragement. Thank you for letting me be part of your lives…
Your work draws the viewer into the (scriptural) text and “hugs them”.
I had to write and tell you how beautiful your artwork is in the Stations of the Cross. It was such a blessing to have your pictures & haiku with us on Good Friday. So many people were moved by the beauty and artistry of your work. And I believe the meditations took us along some new paths that brought us closer to the meaning of Good Friday.
I am writing to thank you. It was wonderful to sit down with your beautiful images and then to use your reflections on each Station as the basis for my prayer. I have admired your art work since I discovered it, but now I see that you also use other creative gifts to help others draw closer to God. It takes courage to share one’s thoughts and reflections with others. God has blessed you there, too. Your words and images guided me through a fruitful and peaceful time of prayer on Friday evening. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and talents. You honor the Giver of these gifts by sharing them with others. I can’t thank you enough.
Jen Norton’s illustrations [in “Paddy and the Wolves” by Gracewatch Media] are colorful and detailed. Norton’s folk art style is beautiful, classic, and effective artistic storytelling. The illustrations have many Christian signs and symbols. Each drawing invites the reader to spend time exploring the images.
The Sodality Ladies at St. Ann’s absolutely LOVED your Magnificat cards! Even the pastor commented on them and really liked them. Being able to give out your beautiful prayer cards made the event very special.
I haven’t been this touched by something so special in a long time. I can’t stop looking at the magical portrait of our beach house. You have definately captured its specialness…I called my daughter about this heirloom, and we cried together.
I am now a BIG fan of your work. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I fell in love with this art print the minute I saw it. When it arrived today I love it even more! It’s gorgeous and I’m so happy with my purchase.
..I really love your work…It makes me feel so excited about religion. Like seeing it through the eye of a child! Keep up the good work!
I was so moved by your work, that I went to your website, your FB page and your Etsy store! You are blessed with a beautiful gift and I am so happy you create these colorful, amazing pieces!
“Thank you so much for the beautiful paintings. We love them. Its like a little slice of Orcas Island every day!!!”
I placed my art on my wall…it is wonderful! I can’t really explain it, but I feel good every time I look at it. The movement and color is just perfect.
Jen was an absolute delight to work with! Answered all my questions and worked with me [on our custom piece]. This print is gorgeous and will hang in the foyer of our new home. Its a sentimental piece to us and Jen treated the order with GREAT care! Will shop again and don’t hesitate to buy from Jen.
I received my art today and it is even more wonderful than I’d imagined! I can hardly wait to present it! (artwork purchased for a gift)
“It all makes me smile, breath deep and sigh…Thank you.
Jen…I was lucky enough to receive a piece of your art as a Christmas gift. I love it! It has a place of honor in my dining room and it is very meaningful to me…All your art is so fabulous—you are truly a gifted artist. Keep making the world more beautiful!
Yahoo! Waahoo! This has been a very fun project! It ahs been a pleasure getting to know you! You ahve pulled through for me through thick and thin—I appreciate that SO much. I talk about you all the time…
Exquisite! Even better than it appeared on the website. Many thanks!
…I was touched by your kind words. I appreciate you sharing your artwork with me; it is so great that you have been able to create a successful career out of your passion!
I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your painting. It fit the wall space perfectly in our entryway. It sets the tone for the whole house. I’ve already gotten several compliments on it, and I’m looking forward to another painting by you…
