Norma Jean Deak (1946– ) is an american performance artist, writer, and director whose work draws upon words as a "primary means for communicating the interior lives of her characters". She has written, staged, and performed a number of texts about women who manifest psychological disorders such as insomnia, paranoia, and memory loss. [1]
Education
Martin left Texas to go to school in Chicago because colleges from the South had racial discrimination policies that did not allow black people to attend. She studied photography at the School of Institute in Chicago and at the American school of Photography. In 1946 she received a degree in photography from Denver University.
Career
Martin was an African American professional photographer who received recognition for her photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King's funeral. She had twenty-seven awards in photography by the early 1970s.[2]
