"Although I now live in California, I grew up in Philadelphia, and had the wonderful experience of being able to drop in frequently on my dad's classes at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Dad taught there, in addition to the Fleisher Art Memorial and Allens Lane Art Center.
He worked very hard at his craft, which included teaching as well as exhibiting and selling his artwork worldwide.
