GIS in Science and Education: About Us

Born on June 15, 1885 in Brooklyn, Hoffman grew up in an artistic setting. Her father was a piano prodigy who came to America when he was only 15. After Hoffman created her first sculpture, a bust of her father’s head, he looked at her and said, “My child, I'm afraid you are going to be an artist” (Hoffman, 1936).
