Aharon-The Blessing Hands Print - Limited Edition of 30

I was raised in an artistic family in the former Yugoslavia, where I spent much of my childhood at my mother's ceramics studio, learning the secrets of the trade. My formal art education began in Belgrade more then 30 years ago, where I attended secondary school for Design. I later studied photography in Prague and in 1993 moved to New York, studying Hebrew calligraphy with calligrapher Jay S. Greenspan.In 1997 I moved with my family to Krakow. There, I earned a Masters degree in Fine Art and Art Education, mastering the technique of linocut by the renowned Jerzy Jedrysiak. My graphics and paintings have been published and exhibited internationally. I now live in New Jersey.
