Artistic statement: I like to express my individual artistic integrity through a variety of media including oils, acrylic, collage, pen, ink, lithographic inks and pigments. I have developed techniques over a number of years that allow me to transfer energy from motifs onto paper and create a unique layered decorative art. I borrow motifs from around the world from different cultures mixing vibrant and bold colours of the Negev into a special blend. There is nothing subdued or relaxed about my work and it tends to always form an opinion from each viewer.
