Harold and Kiki Rabinowitz founded New Haven’s Creative Arts Workshop in 1961. A painter who also taught art at Amity Regional High School, Harold Rabinowitz received an MFA from Yale Art School in 1952. He paints nature with passionate, exuberant paint strokes, overlapping planes of color, with a personal calligraphic signature. Kiki Rabinowitz is a musician and artist.

The Rabbinowitz’s daughters are also artists. Abbie Rabinowitz received her BFA from State University of New York at Purchase and works as a computer artist, while pursuing her career as a painter; Rebecca Rabinowitz’s creates watercolor landscapes; and Sandy Rabinowitz attended Cooper Union and Parsons School of Design, where she focused on children’s book illustration.
