Miri Lavee

I am a painter. I was born in Israel. I live in the beautiful village Karmei-Yosef, where I paint and also teach.

The strong Israeli light and country life are the inspiration for large oil paintings of an expressive single flower of light.
In my frequent visits in Mexico I was impressed by colors of fabrics and interesting people. They are the inspiration for large oils on canvas depicting Mexican dancing figures.
I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors and this is one of the domineering inspirations for my art.
