Text Box:  In 2001 I searched for additional venues of artistic expression in order to develop myself as an artist. I felt the need to deal with bulkier material in order to give more depth to my paintings, as it is with life itself. This intention of mine applies also to textile, which is imbedded deep in my soul.              Be it drawing all over patterns design, on paper or silk, I have searched for a way to touch textile itself in order to create images or designs, as I am touching the textile physically and from that creating something new. while surfing the net and investigating the relevant literature I found two elements which in my mind unite textile and art: Designing traditional English rugs and ' painting ' with sheep wool fibers, Felt making. I followed my dream and went to England to study these techniques with local artists. Today,  I am working in my private studio placed in Ramat - Hasharon Israel, towards an exhibition while focusing on quality and aiming at expressing myself fully.

Text Box: The meaning of life for me is creation in the full sense of the word. The creation of my life is my children, my family and those surrounding me, and our relationships in our environment.  These are weaved into the artistic experience which is an essential part of my existence.
