We have been privileged to have work exhibited at the Morgan Library, an honor rarely afforded living artists.Most private collectors of our watercolors are intimately involved with the visual arts, particularly with Old Master drawings: they include past and present directors and trustees of America's foremost museums and public institutions, among them several trustees of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as The National Gallery of Art, The Frick Collection, The Morgan Library, and The New York Public Library. Other collectors include presidents and senior representatives of the leading international auction houses in New York, London and Paris; Old Master paintings & drawings dealers and collectors; and internationally known fashion and interior designers. LecturesWe have lectured upon the history of French and European architecture and gardens at the Bard Graduate Center, the Parrish Art Museum, Christie's London, Sotheby's France, Syracuse University, the University of Dortmund, CIVA Brussels, the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the Four Arts Society of Palm Beach, the Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville, the Société des Amis de Versailles, the New York School of Interior Design and the Beaux-Arts Alliance.
