Someone on the list recently stated that he didn't know of any successful artists who are teachers. I have had several teachers who are (or were) successful artists in several fields; e. g. Wendell Berry (writing), Jimmy Raney (guitar), Rudy Pozzatti and Henry Chodkowski (painting). A few other examples of successful artists who were or are teachers: Mark Rothko, Saul Bellow, Hans Hoffman, Gustave Courbet, Howard Levy, Robert Henri - just a few off the top of my head. Walter Lay
