At school I did not get along with art teachers. I wanted to paint "my way". The Museum became my playground. I loved Leonardo da Vinci for beauty and Michelangelo for power. An extensive Van Gogh exhibition came to town. The immense passion that came through his brush strokes captured my heart. I discovered that feelings could be painted.

Traveling to New York, I visited the Metropolitan Museum where I saw Dali's paintings for the first time. My eyes were opened to the world of Surrealism. That night I had a vivid dream. Waking up I sketched the image on paper and later painted it in oils. It was my first surreal painting. I found my calling. In New York I fell in love and got married. I returned with my husband to Israel where I became well known.

I love the desert, rocks, the beauty of the human body and science fiction. People and landscapes appear disguised in my paintings. I never went to art school; I learned by looking at the Masters. I learned by experimenting. I paint in solitude, no sound and no distractions. I have learned to listen to my inner voice. I don't paint when this voice is silent. My art is painted from the heart. Never bending to trends or popularity.

We immigrated to California, raised a family and built a home. Years went by. Time came to exhibit again. My work debuted at the largest international Art Trade show in the United States' "Art Expo New York 2002." As a result I received extensive press and representation by several Galleries. I have been a part of ArtExpo New York ever since. My painting "Passage" was featured on the cover of "Art Business News" The article named me as one of today's "handful of modern-day surrealists." It was heart warming to get that recognition. People find their own stories in my paintings. They tell me that my Art touches their soul. I am grateful for that.
