After teaching at the University of Colorado, he became a professor of art for 13 years at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where their daughter, Gail, was born. He also established the Wagner School of Painting and Drawing, gave workshops, exhibited paintings nationally in many shows and also judged art shows.
