Wolfson was born in Petah Tikva, Israel in 1966. He spent much of his childhood with his grandfather, award-winning poet Y.Z. Shargel. It was through his interactions with his grandfather and his creative friends that Wolfson became interested in the art world.He began painting as early as age 5, often during school lessons (to the dismay of his teachers). He continued to explore his artistic talents in high school, painting murals on school walls....I just wanted to be free, to be in my studio and paint my paintings,” Wolfson says.To maintain that independence, Wolfson dove into the world of printmaking, working under other artists to help create their editions, including Itzchak Tarkay.Wolfson met the legendary artist at the age of 21. Soon after they began working together they formed a friendship that ultimately led to Tarkay mentoring Wolfson. They ended up sharing studio space in the same building for many years
