Norman Stevens studied at Bradford College of Art from 1952 to 1957, where his contemporaries included David Hockney, and at the Royal College of Art from 1957 to 1960. After teaching at Manchester College of Art for seven years from 1960, he travelled to USA where he took a Greyhound Bus tour, recording his journey in drawings and photographs. He subsequently exhibited frequently, both in the UK and internationally. In 1970 he taught painting at Hornsey College of Art and at the same time he began to make etchings, which led to commissions from Editions Alecto, the major print publisher. His work is represented in many public collections, including the Tate Gallery. He taught at Maidstone and Hornsey Colleges of Art and was Artist in Residence at Wimbledon School of Art the year before he died.
