Ira Stark grew up in the 1960’s on Long Island, NY. Influenced by the artistic talents of his mother and uncle, he took many art courses and developed a talent and passion for drawing and painting at Beloit College and graduated with a minor in art. After college, he reached the crossroads in his life when one must decide between a passion and reality and he made the life decision to pursue his career in medicine and eventually became a radiologist. “ Radiology works for me since my brain is hardwired to think and remember using visual imagery. My job is to look at X-rays and MRI scans which details the human body.” His passion for art was put on hold.

Art and especially impressionistic art continued to bewitch him. “Whenever I went to an art museum, I would be drawn to the Impressionists and would examine their techniques, lighting and colors. I would often say to myself, I can do that! Recently, I learned that my deceased artist uncle discovered a piece of my art from my college days and commented how much he was amazed by the quality of my work. This comment became the impetus for my personal renaissance. I now devote much of my free time to my passion, art."

" Over the years I have been in search of a new technique. I discovered a new exciting style that I call 4-Dimenional Serpiginous Abstraction.
