One of the most curious things I found in the village when I moved out here was the covered trees. The rows of net-covered trees seem to me like a string of candy. I understand the practical reasons for covering fruit trees with nets: to protect the delicate flowers and fruits from birds, bugs, and dust. But it's so strange! I painted the wintery dark background because that's just how you see orange trees: an early winter fruit, blazing orange on a grey background, the air clean and crisp. The nets make it clear that these trees are here in the service of Man. If left to nature, the farmer will have nothing left to sell. Don't worry about the birds, though. The trees burst out of the nets in many places and premature fruit rolls on the ground. Everyone gets to eat. Painted in oil colors on a found scrap of MDF. I always check out the leftover pile in the local woodshop for interesting pieces. This long and narrow panel felt just right for the string of candy trees I wanted to paint. Please note that the corners of the panel are not perfect, I've rounded them slightly when sanding the panel.

Israel
After 14 years of commercial animation, I started painting outdoors with a friend. Over two years of painting trips, a theme emerged: "Half a Tree". This is what I call the trees on the streets of Tel Aviv that are planted too close to a building, so half their canopy gets cut off. In these outings, I discovered many more types of "Half Trees" - various ways in which humans shape nature, especially in agricultural uses. The net-covered fruit trees became an obsession of sorts; they inspire me to play with their shapes. On weekends I fly gliders and see the world from another perspective. Drawing while flying is, well, inadvisable, so I practice remembering what I see. From cloud-base, not very high, I see more types of manmade landscapes. I often paint these experiences from memory, sometimes mixed with imagination. These types of works have less detail and more emotion in them. I explore the shapes that I see: the wild ones, the man-made ones, and what happens when they interact. Bio I was born in the desert, in the bright yellow light of Beer Sheva, Israel. I've lived in the clear mountain air of Jerusalem, in grey Brighton, England, in the heart of the White City of Tel Aviv, and I now live and work in the country, in the village of Givat Ada, surrounded by vineyards and wheat fields. I graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design as an Animator and have worked as a commercial animator and illustrator for about two decades. I'm inspired by the sculptures by Dani Karavan. I grew up and continue to live in his creations. As a small child, I played in the Negev Brigade Memorial, not knowing what it meant, only realizing on a very basic level that someone, a person, an artist, has created this experience for me. I'm also inspired by the many archeological sites all over my country, by great animated movies, and by the impressionist and how they painted their life on the water. Quite a few of the impressionists were avid boaters, and they painted all aspects of the boating life. This inspired me to do the same with gliding. I am a glider pilot and the only woman in my country to have ever achieved a CFIG rating.
