About
WILLIAM FRANCIS QUINN, Hawaii’s first governor, was born in Rochester, New York, on July 13, 1919.

Remembering William Quinn, painter, professor emeritus
In 1985, Quinn arranged for the university to secure a 100-year lease on a studio at the Cité International des Arts in Paris, the famed artist-in-residence building located on the banks of the Seine River. Today, the Paris Studio Residency continues to welcome alumni, faculty and graduating students from the Sam Fox School’s College & Graduate School of Art.
Quinn, meanwhile, retired to Bruges, Belgium, and also lived in Vence, France, and Gig Harbor, Wash., before settling in Milford. Through it all, he continued to exhibit widely, including a 2009 exhibition at St. Louis’ Duane Reed Gallery.
In all, Quinn’s work has been featured in more than 40 solo exhibitions and more than 100 group shows. His numerous awards include a 1986 fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work is included in more than 20 museum collections, including the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and WashU’s Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
Quinn is survived by his wife of 49 years, Jeannine Goe
