 NORMA ERLER RAHN 1935 - 2021

After a lifelong career as an award winning illustrator and graphic designer, Norma sadly passed away from kidney cancer in February 2021. Norma began her career in New York City in the 1960’s, working hard to showcase her unique artistic style and talent. Norma married Edward Rahn and they moved Rahn Studio to New Jersey in the 1970’s. Their clients included Merck, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Ortho, Silver Burdette , Tommy West music studio and many others.

Norma graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art and attended Pratt Institute in New York. She was a contributing illustrator to The Children's Writer's Guild. Her work has been featured on book covers, magazine covers, she illustrated book content and promotional materials for corporate clients. Norma was the Director of Education at the Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster, NJ, up to her retirement in 2020.

Norma continued to sketch up to 4 weeks before she passed away. Her favorite things to do were to sketch at the Society of Illustrators in NYC, visit museums and travel to Europe to paint with her dear friends Sally Bush and noted artist, Adolf Konrad. She always had a sketch book and travel watercolor set in her bag. Illustrating for children’s books was her greatest passion and she will be missed greatly by her family and friends.
