About myself :

Born in August 1964, I am a textile designer, & fine artist.

A graduate of the Textile Design Department in ‘SHENKAR’ School of Design with honors in 1988. specializing in printed textiles. Creative experience : I have designed knitwear, woven textiles and printed fabrics for the local market and for export. ( Since 1988 ) I was in charge of a Studio – Gallery called ’ SPECTRUM’ in Ramat – Gan Israel, where I designed and sold many of my own products such as : drawings, silk products, jewelry and more. ( 1990 – 1994 )

I presented my work in several exhibitions among them the ‘Indigo’ International Textile Exhibition in Paris.

My fabrics were exhibited at the “Heimtextil” Exhibition ,international trade fair for home textiles – Frankfurt , Germany, during the 90’s.

I have also led several creative workshops. ( 1998 – 2000 )

I have always felt a strong urge to express myself in different ways, using various materials in different scales and in various dimensions, through precise techniques or freely, and always using a large spectrum of colour combinations. COLOURS is what I am and artistic creation is a source of life for me. My art creation is my ultimate breath of fresh air.

In 2001 I searched for additional venues of artistic expression in order to develop myself as an artist. I felt the need to deal with bulkier material in order to give more depth to my paintings, as it is with life itself.

This intention of mine applies also to textile, which is embedded deep in my soul. Be it drawing all over patterns design, on paper or silk, I have searched for a way to touch textile itself in order to create images or designs, as I am touching the textile physically and from that creating something new.

while surfing the net and investigating the relevant literature I found two elements which in my mind unite textile and art:

Designing traditional English rugs and ’ painting ’ with sheep wool fibers, Felt making.

I followed my dream and went to England to study these techniques with local artists.

I exhibited my ART at the Florence Biennale – 2005.

Every year I exhibiting my ART, in local ehibitions.

For me ,personally fine art & design is ONE.

It has a strong connection. I need to work in many artistic directions. One area of creation of mine inspire another one…It has always been like that, since I was a student.

In different words, I can take a photo and inspired by it for a design or a painting, in one media, or a different media…OR..

I can design, and take the inspiration from my design to paint…

OR..I can paint and take the inspiration from my painting to do a design work.

One field / area of artistic creation fertilizing the other field / area of creation.
