I was born on January 11th, 1972, in Israel.
I grew up in a small town close to Tel Aviv.
Most of my inspiration comes from my childhood landscapes,
and the places I used to go as a child, along with my 2 dogs,
Linda and Pudi.
I used to read a lot, mostly fairytales and fiction. The most
inspiring book I read was 'Alice in Wonderland'. I used to
imagine myself as Alice.
I was always fascinated by the constant changing of colours,
from day to night, and from season to season.
I also always liked to look at the different shapes of people
faces, and their expressions.
I studied illustration at 'Vital', The Tel Aviv Academy for Design
Studies, between 1994-1998, and graduated with First Class
Honours BA in Design. I also got a 2 years scholarship from
the Israel-American Fund for Excellence in Design.
After my graduation, I participated in several group exhibitions
in Israel, and started working as a professional illustrator.
I have illustrated for the leading newspapers and magazines
in Israel and also published a children's book.
I'm now living in New York City, and working as a freelance
illustrator for prominent newspapers and magazines in the
US.
