About the Book

Norman Pirollo, wood artist, describes his fascinating journey of transitioning from full-time employment to being self-employed as a wood artist. He currently creates wood art and sculptural work in his studio. Norman faced many obstacles throughout the journey where apprehension about the decision was often at the forefront. Perseverance, fate and critical decisions combined to map out the direction he followed later in life. Often seeking creative outlets, working as a multidisciplinary artist ultimately became his vocation. Norman Pirollo chronicles his fascinating journey over a fifteen-year period. Follow the riveting story of how his technology career evolved into a multidisciplinary art career including furniture making, sculpture, photo art and ultimately wood art. Read how Norman, through determination and perseverance, finally attained his goal of becoming an artist in the genre of wood art. Delving into and studying art history has provided him the art language and background to develop his own vision of wood art. Discover how he immersed himself into the contemporary art movement to develop a style and voice of his own. Find out how, through twists and turns, Norman acquired the skills and techniques to become an award-winning wood artist and sculptor today. The opportunity to work at something he truly enjoys has ultimately brought him solace and independence.
About the Author: Norman Pirollo brings forward a unique form of contemporary styled furniture incorporating contemporary and modern elements. As designer, I acquired an education from contemporary artisans as well as a breadth of insight into both the visual and decorative arts. Through an equal amount of patience, attention to detail and a keen sense of design, I create striking studio furniture incorporating unique, contemporary designs. Applying accumulated skills and expertise, I pursue the design process from preliminary sketches to CAD drawings to making.
