This is an acrylic painting, 60/60 cm. Painted with a little help from my 3 year old daughter. Being a parent and a painter, for me, is 100% creativity at all times. Sometimes when it doesn’t work, and, for example, when I plan on napping and instead I get jumping on the bed (or head), I go to my magical place. Painting. So, this painting is thanks to all things in life that help me in being a better mother: plans, children, change and flexibility. Oh Magic Deer, be my guide to all the craziness that happens sometimes.If you want to buy this painting, click here.

I find my self painting all the time. These days starting to work on a new exhibition that will take place at the “Container” –  From May 1st to 21st. Join me on Facebook to stay updated.
These magical large women combined with trees and whimsical landscapes, started to appear in my paintings after my baby girl was born, they have big colorful dresses, they may look pregnant, and there is something magical going on in their big bellies… I’m sure motherhood took over my creative mind, and I enjoy it so much! New images come to my mind the moment I close my eyes, I am very grateful for that. My red tree painting is also part of this big thing, the canvas prints reproduced from it seem to be a bestseller…

I almost finished my Peru oil pastels paintings series. I have scanned and printed them on A4 heavy wight paper and it looks great. All prints available on my Etsy shop.

A year after traveling in Peru, I finally painted this series. Meanwhile I finished my degree, I moved to the country side and had a baby… So, I’ve been processing. These images were chosen from hundreds of pictures I took while traveling, you can see it here on my flickr. When time will come I’ll print some of the photographs for sale too. But now I’ll just focus on painting. This trip was very inspiring in many ways, and as someone I don’t remember his name said (and then I changed it to what I want to say): “The thing with traveling is not having new things to see, but having new eyes”.

My oil pastels ABCI just finished uploading all the alphabet I painted with oil pastels. It is inspired by folk art, vintage items, children books illustrations and old style nurseries. I loved making it, each letter designed by itself so it is quite eclectic. I want to make another series in Hebrew too, so I could make a sign for my house. It took more time than I expected, and I am sure the next ABC’s will take some time too… I am looking for new inspiration for the next series, so if anyone has something interesting to show me, go ahead. This series is available as a digital sheet for craft work, as it is a file of high-resolution that you can just print. I sell it as an A3 Jpeg for 5$ on my Etsy shop, take a look here for the full ABC.

This wedding portrait was painted as a gift to a friend and his bride, acrylic on canvas, 30/30 cm. For custom orders in same method, for a wedding invitation for example, go to my ETSY shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59371844/custom-illustration-jpegpng-for-a I enjoyed the work of “copying” from a big master of art, as this is a tribute to the famous wedding portrait: The Arnolfini Portrait, by Jan van Eyck  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnolfini_Portrait). The fun part was of course combining the original with the portrait of the couple, and the adding of the Ukrainian pattern around (I like patterns and ornament, and I hope to use it more and more in my work).
