BIO


While living on the coast of Maine, in 2013, I began to focus exclusively on painting and studied with Steve Aimone in Thomaston, Maine.  Later, upon my return to the Hudson Valley in NY I took workshops at the Woodstock School of Art,  and participated in marathons and courses at the New York Studio School of painting and sculpture in NYC with Fran O’Neill and John Lees. But, mostly I am self-taught.


A solo exhibition of my paintings "FULL CIRCLE" will be exhibited at Triangle Gallery in Rockland, Maine in August 2023.   "SHAPE OF A LANGUAGE", a solo show at First Street Gallery in NYC took place in February 2023.  In 2021 "RAW INK - BLUE PAINT" solo show was exhibited at Five Points Gallery, Torrington CT.   Additional paintings were part of group shows in Chelsea, NYC,  Sonoma County, CA,  and in the Hudson Valley.  I am represented by Galley Lulo in Healdsburg, CA, where a solo exhibition is scheduled for April 2024. My paintings are included in private collections in the US and abroad.


Born in Tel Aviv and raised there and in London, I worked in television production in advertising (in London) and then for CBS News in Tel Aviv during the peace process of the historic visit of President Saadat to Jerusalem. In 1979 moved to NYC and worked on the Foreign Desk at CBS News in New York and as a researcher for Universe show with Walter Cronkite.


A passion for the art of jewelry led me to begin creating wearable objects in 1984. For over three decades my work was widely exhibited, published and sold nationally and abroad, garnering awards and grants. In 2007 I was a NYFA (NY Foundation for the Arts) fellow and in 2011 a juror for NYFA sculpture/Craft category. I was the curator of the “500 Silver Jewelry Designs” book published by Lark Books/Sterling Publishing in 2011 and a contributor to many other jewelry design publications.


Now back in the Hudson Valley I paint in my studio in Kingston NY.
