Education and Early Career
Stoltenberg attended public grade school in Chicago, and High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Design Art from the Institute of Design of the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1953. Upon graduation, he took a position as graphic designer working under famed illustrator and industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Following a relocation to Boston in 1954, he worked as a graphic designer at Container Corporation of America. In 1960, he set up an art studio on Commercial Wharf, a former fishing pier on the Boston waterfront where he became a full-time painter. This location would inspire his lifelong love for and dedication to marine art, with a focus on both sailing and steam powered coastal and ocean vessels, most notably, the classic ocean liners of the 20th century. For the next decade he would focus on honing his craft, painting a variety of subjects, nautical and otherwise, in an abstract expressionist style.

Famous quotes containing the words education and, education, early and/or career:
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“There are words in that letter to his wife, respecting the education of his daughters, which deserve to be framed and hung over every mantelpiece in the land. Compare this earnest wisdom with that of Poor Richard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
