Artist on VibrantCast

Life offered me two lives, the first was as a creative director and designer. I have worked in the advertising field for over 40 years; my work took me to four continents and living in 7 cities. To become a creative director and a designer I have graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem back in 1966. Through few partnerships and independent business ventures I learned the ins and outs of design, visual communications and tasted for the first time the sweet taste of awards and success. Following that, I had the great fortune of being employed by major global ad agencies and work on many Fortune 100 clients. My job was to hire the best illustrators and the most well-known photographers to execute our concepts for our demanding clients. Photo shoots took me to far places such as South Africa, and commissioning Disney illustrators to execute Happy Meals for McDonalds… Then came the second life! I am retired now from the wonderful world of advertising and commercial consulting and started my dream of living as a painter. An artist, conducting daily duals with my own canvases, brushes and paints.
