Arlene is a talented oil painter and her artwork reflects her experiences and creative spirit. She believes learning is ongoing and continues to study at The Ridgewood Art Institute and South Avenue Arts. In Garwood, NJ. Arlene says, “I am indebted to so many art teachers who helped me develop my love and style in the art of painting. They taught the use of form and freedom and the appreciation of composition and color in both still life and landscape.”
Julius learned the graphics arts trade while working in his fathers printing company in Brooklyn, NY. He worked as a typesetter for 30 years, letter pressman, offset pressman and later a production manager. He also turned to stage and then became a clown all before he went back to painting with Mark Seanger at the South Avenue Arts in Garwood before becoming a member at the Edison Arts Society.
