Giving Tree Mezuzah

Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, I came to the United States as a small child. While in high school, I concurrently attended classes at the Art Students League, the Brooklyn Museum Art School, and the New School of Social Research in New York City. After high school, I returned to Amsterdam as an apprentice to the artist Jos Rovers. During this time, I also attended classes at the Rijks Academy in Amsterdam. After spending the summer of ’73 in Ein Hod, an artist village in Israel, I ended up living in Israel for nearly three years. In Israel, I became a ceramic painter for Lapid Ceramics in Yafo. Returning to New Jersey, I have taught ceramics and art appreciation at Monmouth University, Brookdale College, and I am currently teaching ceramics at Ocean County College, NJ, as well as painting and ceramic classes in my New Jersey studio.
