Discover the preserved legacy of Norman Gaddini through a curated selection of historical documents, photographs, and personal memorabilia that define a lifetime of contribution.
The Norman Gaddini Archives
Welcome to The Norman Gaddini Archives, run by Norman's extended family. Our mission is to preserve the work and legacy of Italian-American artist, Norman Ernest Gaddini. A native of Sonoma County, Norman dedicated a lifetime to contributing to the arts and pioneering both mediums and patents alike, including color scratchboard, sepia watercolor, among others.
Currently, no art pieces listed here are for sale. However, we welcome collaborative inquiries and gallery contributions, as all of Norman's works were, both literally and figuratively, a one-of-a-kind. Please visit our Contact Us page to reach out.
Donations may be made through Venmo; please click the link here if you wish to support our mission. All funds go to site costs and future project endeavors in honor of Gaddini.
