Little is known of this artist who was painting landscapes in oils in Victoria, New South Wales and New Zealand. Most of his works are both signed and dated, bearing dates between 1898 and 1918. He is not to be confused with the photographer named John Norton who had studios in Geelong and Melbourne between 1858 and 1882.

The total number of works by John Norton offered for sale by auction since 1969 is 172, of which 127 (74%) were sold. The highest price recorded for the artist is $3,960 for The Pioneers Cottage sold by Leonard Joel in July 1997. This year one work has been offered for sale. Works by John Norton are held by the Geelong Gallery.
