Stan Smokler lives in Kennett Square, PA and teaches sculpture
at the Delaware College of Art and Design (Wilmington, DE),
the Pratt Institute in NY, the Corcoran School in Washington
DC, and has been invited to teach sculpture workshops in Segovia,
Spain. Smokler received his MFA from The Pratt Institute in
the mid-1970s and has since then had numerous national exhibitions

the Performing Arts in NY, among many others. Stan Smokler is
represented by the Kim Foster Gallery in NY.
