His landscapes, portraits, and figurative works are often mistaken for actual photographs.During his lifetime, Herman exhibited his work in galleries and museums in New Jersey where he won many awards including First Place at the South Orange Annual Art Show, Bloomfield College, and Montclair State College exhibits. He moved to Delray Beach, FL in the fall of 1987 and became a member of the Delray Art League from 1988 – 1995. He exhibited in shows at Old School Square and other Delray sites and won numerous Blue, Red, and White Ribbons. In 1994 &1995 his work was in the 55th & 56th Annual Juried Exhibitions at the Society of Four Arts in Palm Beach.
