“As with several of San Francisco’s artist families, Raymond Puccinelli is an artist as well as his talented wife. In his case there is the interesting fact that it was not until after his marriage with Dorothy Wagner that Puccinelli developed his interest in art. He is one of San Francisco’s most promising young sculptors and while his work has not yet attained much recognition, his steady improvement and development speak well for his future in his chosen field.”
