I was born in Israel. My father was born in Belgium and my mother in Denmark. I went to the Artists House during my childhood. I am married and a mother of three. All These years we have been living in a small village in the north of Israel. I have a BA in computer science.

Most of my landscape paintings are from my Residential area and from north Italy. I use various techniques but mostly oil on canvas, sometimes the place is the same spot, but the art works are so different. The landscape I observe changes I keep in my memory and spell it out like an archive story. It is like a magnet that keeps me on this endless trail. My art courses were in Civita Castellana, the Hirschberg JSS Art School in Italy with Sigal Tsabari and have been attending Aram Gershoni’s master class in Tel Aviv for 2 years. My web site can show that it is indeed an ongoing process.

I am a member of the Circle foundation of the Arts. list of publications can be found in my website as well as list of exhibitions I have participated in USA. Italy and here in Israel. During the last 2 years I have participated in a Gilda course that evolved to a very important exhibition called "pause" included artworks of all artists in this group with curators that coached us during this period.

As one of my Italian curators wrote about my artworks: “The artist works in the field of figurative art favoring the landscape as an ideal expressive form with which to present his poetry. The style is refined and essential, the landscapes are simple and therefore very elegant, recalling the works of the Tuscan Macchiaoli both in the colors and in the treatment of the backgrounds. The gentle degradation of the Middle Eastern hills creates suspended atmospheres, the details are left out to give space to colors and their nuances. Although the reference to reality is very clear, we must consider these paintings as landscapes of memorial. We are not faced with a photograph but with an image strongly influenced by the artist's personal feelings.“

Two Israeli artists who particularly influenced me are Uri Reisman and Anna Ticho
Technique and tools
The drawing accompanies me all the way whether it's a pencil or charcoal But the main part of my work is in oil paints on canvas or on paper sheets that I prepare myself.

The pursuit of color even when it seems absent fascinates me, and it is what keeps me on the long and continuous painterly journey, in which every movement carries with it the traces of the moment and the depth of time.

My artworks are based on accumulated experience, which is not dragged along by changing trends, but rather remains faithful to an inner world and a personal language that has been woven and built over the years
