Born Bronx NY, Central HS Philly (211), B.A. Haverford College PA, where in my senior year I met Stan Brakhage who opened my head to visionary film and became
in the 60's an active  "underground" filmmaker in the East Side scene and made the well regarded: "Eargogh", starring Jack Smith as Vincent. Between 1970 and 1994
worked as film director, mainly for Israel TV, as well as creating videoart.
My transition to painting came accidentally. Stills from my videos attracted a local gallery which deemed it worthy for an exhibition. I quickly learned to transfer their
essential design to canvas using airbrush and other techniques. Since 1995 I have created over 400 paintings, exhibited in galleries & museums in Israel and USA.
