Area of Specialty
A private gallery situated in the heart of the Newport Beach Mariners Mile district, Katherine Norris Fine Art
offers one of the most extensive, prestigious inventories of nineteenth and early twentieth century American
and California paintings. It is our gallery’s ongoing quest to acquire and exhibit paintings that best
represent the strong artistic talents of our nations’ early years. The works of these celebrated artists
include American genre scenes, portraiture and the unique American landscape on canvases of stunning vistas,
luminous seascapes, autumnal woodlands, forest interiors, and radiant cityscapes. These powerful views,
presented to us with brush and pigment during years past still resonate in their artistic brilliance and beauty.
American Paintings Market
We believe there is real opportunity in the collection of American Art. It is an area of burgeoning potential as
worldwide collectors are beginning to recognize the importance of American paintings. Considering the range of
talent and depth of beauty these works feature, the demand for American paintings is not too surprising. For our
inventory, we chose paintings that best represent the visions of America’s most celebrated artists.
Client Services
The owner of the gallery, Katherine Norris, started out as a passionate collector of American art. Having been a
collector herself, she emphasizes the need for competent and diligent service to new and experienced, private and
institutional collectors. We are very sensitive to value and work to price paintings at reasonable levels. We are
careful to keep our operating costs low so as to extend savings to our clients.
We frequently accept paintings back in trade to enable clients to improve and upgrade their collection. As a result,
our gallery is unique in its client-friendly attitude.
We are always interested in acquiring new pieces. Please feel free to contact us to discuss art that you would like
to sell.
Knowledge and Expertise
Our gallery distinguishes itself by the knowledge, integrity and professionalism of our attentive staff. We thoroughly
research each painting in the inventory and offer a wealth of biographical information on the artist, on the
art-historical context of the work as well as on its literary, provenance and exhibition history.

Our elegant private gallery is conveniently located on West Coast Highway in beautiful Newport Beach. We are generally

future, or just want to learn more, we look forward to your visit and to sharing with you our passion and enthusiasm for
