This illustrator, graphic artist, painter, printmaker and sculptor was born 1921 in Kishinev Romania (present day Moldova). In 1927, he migrated with his family to Toronto.

In his teens he studied art at Central Technical School, then served in the Canadian Army from 1942 to 1945. About the time he was joining the Army he won a national poster competition organized by the Art Gallery of Toronto, now the Art Gallery of Ontario. After the war, from 1946 to 1947, he studied printmaking, drawing, painting and sculpture at the Ontario College of Art. Following his studies, he travelled extensively throughout Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Middle East. He returned to Toronto and began his career as a freelance illustrator.

In 1969, he was awarded a grant for a three month drawing tour of First Nations communities. The result was six hundred drawings which received critical praise.

His national and international reputation came to rest on his sculptures. In 1983 he was awarded first prize in the National Open Sculpture Competition for the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Monument erected in Toronto. He completed the monument in 1985. He was awarded the Rabin International Presentation Sculpture in 1996 in Los Angles.
