Painting since 1936, Norman Vincent Ulery worked professionally as a mosaicist, muralist, serigraphist, and illustrator. During the early 1940’s, he studied at the Creative Art Students League, Hollywood, California, with Herman Sachs, who founded the Chicago School of Design. He was also a member of the Workshop for Social Art, the Open Circle Gallery of Abstract Artists, and the Council of Allied Artists in Hollywood. The majority of Ulery’s later work was accomplished at his Red Shed Studio, Cemetery Ridge, Nashville, Brown County, Indiana, after he and his wife, Gertrude, and cat, Jinx, moved from Los Angeles to Brown County in 1947.
He had one-man shows in Hollywood and exhibited in group shows, by invitation, including the Los Angeles County Museum, the John Herron Gallery in Indianapolis, the Swope Gallery at Ball State University, The Brown County Art Guild, and the Museum of Non-Objective Art, New York City. Artist's Row Gallery held a retrospective of his work in Bloomington, Indiana in 2002.
His paintings are in private collections in the United States, France, Great Britain and Italy, and in the Onya LaTour collection, Indianapolis Museum of Art.
