851 Norma Jean is an original gouache Pop Art portrait by artist Brett Hodges of Quiet Corner Art Studio in the Omaha, Nebraska area.

This portrait looks toward the quieter image of Marilyn Monroe as Norma Jean, before the full weight of fame became part of her public identity. Through bold contrast, minimal color, and clean Pop Art structure, the painting focuses on presence, vulnerability, and the lasting visual power of one of Hollywood’s most recognized women.
