I am an Israeli-born New Yorker. I was raised by an artist and a general contractor, and this influenced my affinity for the arts and my interest in the transformation of space, exploring ways to increase the end-user’s quality of life.

FLORAL ABSTRACT
48” X 60” ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
This abstract painting is meant to evoke the brighter side of life; nature. freedom. love. The large scale format was selected so that these elements would become a part of the execution and process of this painting. I used brushes, sponges and a variety of palette knives.

a space divided.
