Born and raised in NYC, he is a graduate of Pratt Institute and reflects his yeshiva education and the times in which he lives. He has been influenced by the abstract expressionists, but continues to add the overlay of his Hebraic studies. The constant reminder that the calligraphy of his early education provides a counterpoint to the wild mass of color and vivid imagination.

Spinowitz graduated Pratt Institute with a BFA and MA in 1967. He began teaching art privately and under a federal grant program to NYC public schools. All the while he continued to work at his paintings and ketubot, which are in private collections throughout the United States. He has been included in group shows at the YU museum and had a one man show when the gallery museum opened at West Point. Beginning in 1980’s, Spinowitz began designing Judaica in silver, brass and porcelain. His work has been presented to heads of state.
