Background on myself as an artist
I grew up and was raised in the Hula Valley in the Upper Galilee, and expanded
5 art units at the “Emek Hahula” High School”.My next year was spent studying drawing with the artistic talents of Maya Israel and Avi Sabah as part of Bezalel's preparatory course for architecture and design. The preparatory year was one of the most fruitful years of my life, and it has played a major role in my growth as a creative person. Since then I have been traveling the world, knowing that creation will play a significant role in my life.I later studied visual communication at Musrara, and in the final year of these studies I also studied Engraving and a printing press in the Jerusalem print workshop. Then in 2019, I did a tattoo course atthe “UK Official Tattoo Academy”, London.
Experience in exhibitions
From my graduation project until today I have illustrated, designed, and layout three children’s books; I have been involved in designing various logos and projects such as Cafe branding and different print productions; I have participated in several illustration and art exhibitions throughout the country;
the most significant to me was:
● 'Contemporary Local Print', 2018.
● Dual drawing exhibition 'Relationships', 2019, including the curators of the exhibition at the'Tel Aviv Ayelet Hashachar' gallery.I turned this exhibition into a lecture tour that took place in a number of kibbutzim and moshavim around the country.
● Illustration Week, 2020.
● 'Significant Surfaces', 2020 - Group exhibition at the Edmond Rothschild House
