In 2002 Shelley completed the University of Auckland Bachelor VA at Manukau School of Visual Arts, majoring in Jewellery.
She works as a physiotherapist in Hamilton, but continues to engage in the jewellery conversation exhibiting in New Zealand and internationally. Norton’s most recent offshore shows have included the JOC (Jewellery out of Context) and The New Alchemists which recently toured Australia.
Her work is focused on making meaning and exploring the way in which we create and interpret it. With its rich games of signification jewellery provides a vast area to playfully examine the manufacture of meaning.
