William North
 

William North is a distinguished painter of the tropical Florida scene. He carries on the tradition of the great age of impressionism, working from life, painting landscapes in the field and still lifes in the studio. An interest in art and painting, which began in he early teens, led to his assignment as an artist correspondent in the U.S. Army (1945-1947). After leaving the service he attended Pratt Institute (BFA - 1951) and also studied at the N.Y. Art Student's League and the Lyme Academy of Fine art, in Connecticut.

Over the years he followed duel careers in art and business. In 1990, he left the business world to continue his painting interests full-time. He settled in Florida and soon became established as a well-known painter of Florida oranges and citrus groves.

In 2004 he was the first Lee county artist to be invited to exhibit in the Governor's Gallery in the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee.

Because of his attention to detail and ability to depict citrus as it really appears, North has many devoted collectors within the citrus industry. He has been painting in oils for more than 60 years and has been represented in galleries for more than 40 years.

He has received numerous awards. His paintings are in hundreds of collections in the U.S. and abroad as far away as Moscow and Tokyo.
