Mr. Leibowitz completed his formal education in 1976 with a bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema from the University of Bridgeport. Studies included film , video, photography , and art, with experimental filmmaker Warren Bass, and video artist Shalom Gorewitz. During the late seventies he completed his formative period working as an assistant for Director/Cinematographer Tibor Hirsch. His interest in the alteration of the photographic image moved from the darkroom and in-camera manipulation to the physical movement of the Polaroid SX-70 emulsion in 1977. He exhibited this medium in an annual Soho show through 1996, and has been included in NJ Museum shows and numerous corporate collections including IBM, Philip Morris, and Polaroid . In 1991, he saw Photoshop, bought a Mac IIci, and by '93, the Soho show had gone totally digital. Apple computers, a Wacom tablet, Photoshop, and then Painter became, and still are his tools of choice.

In the early to mid nineties, Mr. Leibowitz was given numerous grants of system time on a Shima Seiki workstation by an organization near Detroit Michigan, creating another varied body of work. .In 1995 he turned his attention to the moving image, hand painting video a frame at a time in the computer, and for the past few years has added and incorporated 3D rendering into his art. He designed the searchable web site, Leibo.net as a living, ever changing portal into his world. It extensively documents this artist's evolution of imagery into the digital age, and is updated constantly with new work. With a multitude of images created in various mediums, the latest tools and techniques and a refined artistic sensibility, Mr. Leibowitz, camera still in hand, continues his pursuit of new methods to match new visions.
