He then moved from Scarsdale, NY, to Southport, CT, in 1949, when he began giving classes. He served as the Art Director of the Hudson River Museum for more than 12 years and continued to teach art. He was represented by Grand Central Art Gallery in NY, as well as Portraits, Inc., and the Bendann Art Gallery of Baltimore.
