Emotional Art 

I am a Jerusalem-born artist now based in Denver, integrating over seven years of mindfulness practice into my artistic process. For me, creating art is a profound meditation, a spiritual journey. Immersed in nature, my work is deeply rooted in spirituality, introspection, and personal identity. I translate emotions and experiences into abstract forms and scenes inspired by joy, loss, landscapes, and music. My intuitive approach to art echoes the pioneering spirits of abstract art.  

I work in a variety of mediums, but mainly oil and acrylic paint. Throughout 2024, I have started to work in collage digitally and physically. Through dealing with my identity as a Jewish American born in Jerusalem who Is a supporter of the Palestinian movement, my work in 2024 has been mainly focused on my feelings of loss, sadness, and change. Although not explicitly political commentary or focused on the ongoing war, many of my new works express my feelings about the conflict, identity, and experiences.
