Wolins was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He studied at the National Academy of Design from 1935 to 1941 under Leon Kroll. He also studied in Europe in and during that time was particularly influenced by the Italian painters Piero della Francesca, Mantegna and Giotto. His work also bars the influence of Cubism and Surrealism. The Paris Exposition of 1937 afforded a unique opportunity to study Modern European Painting. Wolins was one of the New York area artists associated with the WPA. Art Project, 1935-1941. Considered an "artist's artist," Further trial and experiment in painting for the next five years led to participating in group exhibitions.
