Associated with this "Artist Alley" group was Norman Rockwell, Clyde Forsythe's studio mate from his New York days, who would visit Artist Alley each winter to escape Massachusetts winters. Norman married a school teacher who lived on Champion Place named Mary Barstow.
From her studio base in Alhambra, Florence painted California scenes en plein air, northward to Monterey Bay, Carmel, Yosemite and even to the Gulf of Alaska. Like her neighbors on Alhambra's Artist's Alley, she loved painting California desert scenes.
In Who Was Who in American Art by Peter Falk, Florence Young's painting is likened to California painting giants Edgar Payne, William Wendt, Maurice Braun, Seldon Connor Gile, Percy Gray, the Wachtels, Hanson Puthuff, Sam Hyde Harris and more.
