Life for me has been a series of changes in which I first pursued several academic degrees - Interior Design, University of Manitoba; Bachelor of Fine Arts, Alberta College of Art and Design; Bachelor of Education, University of Calgary, and Master’s studies in Rome and Paris. This early part of these scholarly endeavors took place while raising a family of four sons - the traits of a dedicated overachiever.

Born in Winnipeg, Canada, moved to Calgary, Alberta where I became a tenured instructor at Mount Royal College for many years. Life changed and I lived in various locations ranging from Vancouver, California, Seattle area, Arizona, and Oroville, Washington where the cycle is complete with a return to Arizona. Prior to this last move I was only four miles from the Canadian border and their art scene, exhibiting and becoming an Active Federation of Canadian Artists member.

These past twenty years have been devoted to painting full-time, exhibiting in many shows (group and solo) and in galleries in Arizona. I was represented by several galleries in Tubac, Tucson and Scottsdale. There have been numerous awards and honors, and my work is in various public and private collections in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

In addition to painting, there have been other projects, like designing stained glass windows and a 9 foot tapestry for a temple, designing murals, interiors and building additions, as well as a series of limited print e ditions of Judaica themes.

All the above is the fuel that still fires my creative energies, maintains the passion that inspires me to paint the canvases that can communicate my artistic vision to viewers.
