Alan Herman

Alan Herman is a native New Yorker who graduated with a BFA from The Philadelphia College of Art, and an MFA from Temple University. After graduation he returned to New York and designed a number of award-winning educational films for Encyclopedia Britannica and Learning Corporation of America.

For many years, Alan Herman has been a member of the United Scenic Artists, and has worked as a Production Designer, almost exclusively on television commercials. During this time, he has continued to make prints, sculpture and paintings, received an NEA grant, and exhibited regularly, including seven one-person shows in New York that have been well reviewed by prominent critics, including Roberta Smith, who cited in the New York Times, “…[Mr. Herman’s] works balance the reality of life, with the reality of art, and therein lies their unexpected power.”


Also, over the past several years, he has published three volumes of his personal poetry.
