| Biography
William Noonan is an artist
living in the Hudson Valley of New York State. After a career in
publishing, at The Village Voice in New
York City, William has returned, full-time, to his first love–fine art.
He
has a BFA from SUNY Purchase and has since studied at the New York
Academy of Art, the Woodstock School of Art, The International School
of Art-Umbria Italy, and the Art Students League of New York. A major
theme in William’s work is the human figure. With a special interest in
portraiture he explores the figure in its unique and its universal
implications. A deep love of Italian art and the investigation of his
own Italian heritage, through travel and study, inform his work. While
drawing on European traditions, his work is clearly part of the
continuum of American Realism, from Homer to Hopper to Hockney.
