American folk art by contemporary craft artists
WHIRLIGIG CREATIONS

AMERICAN GOTHIC
 
MY STORY
Leonard Norman

As a hobby turned avocation, I have always enjoyed the process of dreaming up a project and taking it from design to completion.

Though my wirligigs, articulated figures and toys are meant to be displayed indoors as folk art kinetic sculptures, they will whirl and dance in the wind as well.

My Americana themed subjects are based on folk heroes and events, and are designed, carved and painted by myself.

For over 30 years I've had fun constructing these whimsical objects which have sold through the Illinois Artisans Society, galleries and art shows around the country.
