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.

“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
