Born in North Platte, John Norall studied at the University of Nebraska, graduating in 1942. He enlisted in the Coast Guard during WWII and spent 5 years in the Pacific theater where he served as a Combat Artist. After the war, he had a successful career as an advertising designer, illustrator and art director at the international BBDO agency in San Francisco. During this time, he created hundreds of illustrations while traveling and painting internationally.
In 1967, Norall moved to Mill Valley, California where he painted and exhibited with success for many years, including at the National Gallery and the National Press Club in Washington D.C., the Coast Guard Academy, Mystic Seaport Museum and San Francisco Maritime Museum. less
