Discovered his ability to “read” art. Discovered Zen.

Came to the US in 1985 where he was a freelance illustrator in NYC for 17 years.
Illustrated regularly for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, as well as others. Illustrated, both in Israel and the US, 42 children’s books, two of which he also wrote.
Studied Zen for 12 years with the late Chinese Zen master Shen-yen. Had a solo show in Cologne, Germany, of abstract drawings with short texts and poems. Showed regularly in an artists run gallery in Pennsylvania. Participated in a few curated shows in galley 440 in Brooklyn. Showed in a few art fairs.
Studied Art Therapy at NYU.
Worked as an Art Therapist for 14 years. Developed a new approach to art therapy, based on activating intuition, while doing two internships in a county jail. Later, after further development of the method, wrote the book, “Opening Intuitive Flow Through Artwork”.
Studied the Release Technique, Theta Healing, Reiki, and a few other approaches to human development.
In 2020 he published the illustrated book “Who AM I?”, as a humorous but practical aid to self reflection.
In 2023 published the book: “Paintings that read my mind and Poems that read my paintings.” These days he lives in NYC with his partner Anita Gold, where he paints, writes prose, poetry and nonfiction, including the blog “Intuitive Flow” (IntuitiveFlow.org) that shows much of his late paintings, with poems and prose that read his works.
I paint as a conversation with the different layers of my whole self. This whole self has no end. Art for me is the natural language of that infinite self, that cannot be experienced by any other way. After I paint I read my art and write down what I find in it, which mostly becomes a poem. I consider the painting and the poem together to be the full interpretation of that conversation. My blog includes many paintings with their poems. Both the paintings and the poems are in motion that is balanced, which is how deep reality flows.
