Norbert has been recognized by the Bahamian Government Ministry of Tourism and awarded with an official Certificate of Appreciation for his promotion of Bimini through his art, and received the 2012 Wisconsin Visual Artist Lifetime Achievement Award, joining notable past recipients like Frank Loyd Wright.

His artwork has been exhibited internationally (United States, The Bahamas, Australia, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, England, Switzerland, and India) and has appeared in the New York Outsider Art Fair every year since 1994, and in seven shows over a span of nine years at the American Visionary Art Museum.
