Leah Saban

I was born in Botswana, Africa, and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. I currently live in Tiberias, Israel - a very picturesque place for an artist to be. I draw a lot of inspiration from the landscape, and flowers around me - I am a great lover of nature. I also enjoy illustrating concepts that have occurred to me and use my imagination to attempt to explain the concept. I really do love all types of art, and will not shy away from attempting a completely new style, or method of creating - it is after all, supposed to be fun and uplifting to be able to create. My introduction to art was through oils, although these days I paint mostly watercolors.

I was educated in South Africa, and while I have no formal art training, my youth was spent in Saturday or Sunday art classes, with me also giving art classes to the small kids in the neighborhood at the age of 14.
