William St. George
St. George Gallery
I wasn’t always a fulltime painter. I worked as an art director and a graphic designer for many years. And while doing ads and creating logos was satisfying, my desire was still to paint. On weekends, or any other time I could slip away, I’d paint. I even moved my schedule around to take classes at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Then in 1991, after the success of my first one-man show, I realized my dream and made the switch from advertising to painting.
Mr. St. George approaches his Gallery’s garden with the same imagination and striking use of color as he does his paintings. He uses a mixture of perennials and annuals, including sweet potato vines, African daisies, day lilies, lantana camara and patio rose verbena, butterfly bushes, impatiens, mums and geraniums. The result is an eye-catching and inviting floral display that adds to the enjoyment of gallery visitors and passersby alike.
Art aficionados and garden lovers are welcome to stop by at any time. Situated in a 19th Century brownstone, the St. George Gallery features individual front and back galleries and three fireplaces. With its unique charm and attractive location, it was chosen as the site for the Democratic National Committee’s Woman’s Caucus Welcoming Reception this past July.
Now St. George is back for the summer in his gallery at 245 Newbury Street, busily opening a new studio to teach his hard-won techniques. Teaching is a passion with Bill St. George. His long-running cable television program Impressions takes viewers on location where he creates and teaches painting. But having produced almost two hundred shows since 1994, this artist feels it’s time to direct some of his energies to teaching students closer to home. He plans to give classes both in his new studio and outdoors.

Gallery Hours: Monday: By appt. only Tues-Sat: 10am - 5:30pm Sunday: Noon-5pm
