Lewis Newman: Lewis Norman of McDowell spent a good portion of his youth growing up in northern Ohio. He spent a lot of his time learning to draw as a student while recuperating from an illness. He and his family lived on a small farm and race horses became the subject matter of much of his work. When he was older and returned to his roots in McDowell, his grandfather instilled in him his love of hunting and working in Floyd County; and the artist we’re seeing today evolved.
