historical notes Art dealer, painter and teacher.

Lust studied painting at the Art Students League, 1936-1941. She opened the Norlyst Gallery at 59 West 56th Street, New York City in partnership with Jimmy Ernst in March 1943.

Ernst left the business after several years; Lust ran the Norlyst Gallery until 1949, when she closed its doors to pursue other interests, including traveling, painting and teaching. Sometime after her retirement Lust opened the Norlist (new spelling) Art Studio in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
