Wolff grew up in the swamps of South Florida, swimming with moccasins, dancing with dragonflies, absorbing the art of the wild. “Light” was the first word he spoke, and he learned to paint before he learned to walk.  After exploring traditional media, Wolff drew on his knowledge of organic chemistry to create a highly-textured, vitreous surface reminiscent of the swampland of his childhood.  He calls this style Primordialism, after the primordial waters whose surface embodies both sinking and emergence, life and death, evolution and mythology, acquiescence and renaissance.  In many of his pieces, he embeds a piece of nature, which he calls a New Fossil.

Wolff was appointed the Official Artist of the Millenium by ARTEXPO in South Miami.  This honor placed Wolff’s painting Autumn Mask at the forefront of a $2 million advertising campaign.  Autumn Mask was purchased by baseball legend Andre Dawson for $5,000. He has sold almost a thousand large pieces through shows and galleries and has exhibited at many prestigious events, including ARTEXPO New York in Manhattan.

A self-taught artist, Wolff is fascinated by the natural world.  He earned a bachelor’s degree in Natural Science from New College (The Honors College of Florida).  While in college, he painted voraciously and had several one-man exhibitions in Sarasota.  Wolff spent 1998 in Scotland,where he painted and exhibited in the northern city of Aberdeen.  While in Scotland, Wolff studied electromagnetism and worked as a professional modern dancer in City Moves Dance Company.  He also wrote and published short stories and poetry.
