I was born and raised in Israel, where I worked as an art teacher. i came to Canada in 1991. I graduated from OCAD with honours degree in Drawing and Painting. I am intensely moved by the fact that in our contemporary world, we are bombarded each day by information from competing media. My paintings are born out of a sense that in the midst of this world of information there is a calm eye to the storm. In my work, I choose different titles from newspapers and create my own imaginary narrative-my art is an expression of that. I use oil paint, combined with a collage of newspapers, titles, and Photographs that I take randomly in my daily life.
