About The Artist
Artist's General Background
I was born in the northern part of Israel, the Afula Valley where my parents had immigrated to from Yemen. I grew up in a large family of eight brothers and sisters. My grandmother was a very dominant figure in my life as I was growing up. She was a widow who lived by herself. My sisters and I would take turns sleeping at her house so we could go out to herd the sheep in the green pastures, twice a day.
In the amazing silence of the green meadows, the shadow created by the giant eucalyptus trees, there was me: a girl alone with sheep, or with her grandma. She invented a world of her own, using God's creations: twigs, soil, leaves. So that the fallen twigs turned into a doll, the dry leaves of the eucalyptus tree turned into a blanket while the soil became my first canvas. Drawing with my fingers and with twigs, and then erasing m paintings with them. I used to draw for hours while enjoying both the sounds of nature and its silence – they all have eventually become inspiration to my work of art.
