Norwood creates art out of recycled junk. He is a self-proclaimed impulsive recycler and likes to use his trash to create pieces that interest him. Before ending up in Manhattan where he would meet his wife and start a family, Norwood travelled around Europe studying art, music, and theater, which he felt was the best thing he could have ever done for his education.
