William Griffith taught art at Kansas University for 20 years. During that time he took a sabbatical and ventured out to California. Soon thereafter, in 1920, he moved to Laguna Beach. Having suffered from chronic bronchial problems, Griffith found the warm climate appealing. He immediately became active with the Laguna Beach Art Association. Griffith was noted for being a portrait artist, but after moving to California he turned his attention to landscapes.
