Their mother was an accomplished portrait artist graduating from the Yale, you can one of her pieces at the Newport Hospital.

Jane has taught this craft for many years. William came under the influence of Spring Bull Gallery’s founder Richard Grosvenor when Dick taught watercolor, oil painting, and art history with infectious enthusiasm at St. George’s. They would go out painting together and began a long artistic friendship. At Yale he came under the influence of New York abstract expressionist Jack Tworkov and Josef Albers. Others he was influenced by were color theory by Sewall Sillman and painting by Richard Lytle and Andrew Wyeth’s dry brush techniques in watercolors
