North Gallery
Celebrating the Artwork of William North
William North (1927–2011) was a distinguished painter of the tropical Florida scene.
An early interest in art and painting resulted in his assignment as an artist correspondent in the U.S. Army (1945-47) and the fulfillment of a lifelong desire to carry on the tradition of the great age of impressionism by painting landscapes outdoors and still lifes in his studio.
His oil paintings of local landscapes and still-lifes, completed over 60 years in and around Toms River, New Jersey, Mystic, Connecticut, and ultimately Fort Myers and Naples, Florida, have been represented in galleries throughout the U.S., and in collections in Moscow and Tokyo.

About North Gallery
North Gallery is a way to keep the painting legacy of my father, William North, out in the world. After a fulfilling life working for others, he longed to be a fine art painter in retirement. For twenty years he lived his dream in southwest Florida producing more than 500 paintings in oil. I am grateful to be able to share some of those paintings here.
