Swimming in the Sea Netanya Watercolor 30x22 Painting

"I am intuitive artist painting my dreams and experiences. on waking so my dreams come alive on paper. I live and work in a village outside Jerusalem on the way to Tel Aviv. I love color, and movement. My paintings express the joy of life. My garden and its flowers and trees are my daily inspiration. Everyday I paint flowers and watch as they change and get older and more interesting. I love watercolors for their immediateness and the colors are so vibrant. I love paint abstract watercolors which mirror my feelings and absorb the feelings around me. My art is in private and public collections worldwide I grew up in Zimbabwe, and South Africa, the animals, the sunsets, the trees and wide open spaces are all part of my creations. Living in Jerusalem for over 50 years has impacted my art as well the intensity of life here, the spirituality of the city and the feeling of immediacy.
