About

I was born in Israel, where I spent most of my childhood. As a child I was drawn in many directions: to science and scholarship, as well as to working with my hands, and to creativity and imagination. After compulsory army service I trained as a physician, practiced Pediatrics, and then moved to the Philadelphia area to complete a fellowship in Medical Genetics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Throughout those years art was my occasional outlet – time permitting – and a constant focus of many day and night-time dreams. I left the practice of clinical medicine several years ago to pursue a lifelong dream of painting and entrepreneurship. I have studied with Philadelphia artists, the late Elizabeth Meyer, and with Moe Brooker, I exhibit in galleries and juried shows, and my work is in private and institutional collections. I see my experience as a physician and medical geneticist reflected in my paintings, as in both, I am exploring the human condition, and stand in awe when studying the structure, dynamics and forces of life.
