Welcome!

We’re proud as husband and wife of 28 years to study and teach Aesthetic Realism, founded in 1941 by Eli Siegel, the American poet and philosopher.

Here you’ll find information about the ways this education has changed our lives—as to love and marriage, the understanding of eating disorders, the art of acting, and the everyday questions of men and women.

Update

I’m very proud to have written the Aesthetic Realism Foundation’s 2024 fundraising letter. In it, I tell some of the great good effect of this education on my life, including as to love, acting, the hope to have big feelings and what opposes that. You can read the letter here.
