About The Artist

Born in London, England, I grew up in a home that had a unique taste for the Arts.  My grandfather sings, My father is a contractor, one of my older sister dances,  and the other sings. The boys, well there is certainly creativity in them.

 

I- like my mother and my mother's mother- paint. 

To be honest, I didn't know which art I would pursue as a career - dance or painting. But after finishing my art GCSE (high school exams in London) and haven performed on stage in a number of theatrical shows performed by woman and just for an audience of woman, I felt that my heart was more with my hands in painting than with my feet on the dance floor. ( Though only slightly more ;)

 

With that decision. I did a year of Art A- level (the final exams of high school in London) and went to Israel to enroll in art college where I received my B.ed in teaching Art.

Whilst in Israel I had numerous experiences that influenced and inspired my art for the better, and so too when I returned to London to teach for another year and a half. 

Now back in Israel, with a new chapter of my life just beginning, I have all those exciting, fun, testing, difficult, teary, exasperating, giggly and wondrous times to express and share in my artwork.

​

My main paint medium is oil paints, but using graphite or ink is always a joy :)

Watercolour has come up more recently and I'm always eager to try out new techniques and textures.
