Artist Statement:
The purpose of my sculptures
is to make people think long
and hard about the Holocaust.
On these web pages you will
find sculptures carved in
marble that commemorate the
heroism of that time and
place. Here you will not find
any ambiguous abstract artwork
or any sense of defeatism.
These sculptures are dedicated
to one of the most important
lessons of the Holocaust - Am
Yisroel Chai - the Jewish
people will always survive.

Background
The primary goal of my work has been to memorialize the Holocaust. I have been a marble sculptor for 30 years. I have studied at the Art Institute of Southern California (Laguna Beach) and at the Art Students League (New York), but I am primarily self-taught. I carve directly in the stone, unlike the vast majority of current-day artists who first model in clay and then have someone else copy their model into marble. My philosophy has been to do what only art can do, and that is to selectively re-create reality.
