Science and art have been my life’s passions. I have been trained as a scientist, with a PhD in Biological Sciences from Columbia University. Most of my career has been spent as a Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Throughout my career, I have also had a strong interest in expressing myself through art. I am a self-taught artist. Art has filled my emotional and spiritual needs as a powerful means of self-expression. These two facets of me, the scientific and artistic, have not only lived in harmony but have also complemented each other. My art, like my life, has been strongly influenced by my childhood experiences in the Nazi Holocaust - a life filled with hopelessness and darkness. I began experimenting with art in the 1970s using the camera and the starkness of black-and-white photography. In the 1980s my acrylic work depicted the raw pain of childhood experiences, as I was reliving them through psychotherapy. As my soul was healing, color became central to my work. In time, I acquired a strong need to express myself using the full spectrum of bright and vivid colors, where I tried to project life’s flow, celebration and continuity. In the late 1990s, the computer became vital to my work, and my focus shifted to digital art. Some works are painted directly on the computer, some are derived through the manipulation of algorithmic equations, and still others originate from digital photography. The galleries illustrate the variety of images that I have created on the computer.
