About Me

I am an Israeli ceramicist living and working in the north of the country.

​

I studied art in Bezalel Academy of Art, majoring in painting. Over the years I have worked with various materials and techniques, from casting polyester resin to carving into home-made paint and painting with plastelina, being interested in the physical presence of painting, its volume, materials and textures.

​

In 2012 I discovered the huge potential of ceramics. I started taking pottery lessons, working on the potter's wheel and experimenting with various surface techniques, using greenware as a 3-dimensional canvas and liquid clay (slip) as paint.

​

The possibilities that ceramics offered seemed unlimited and my passion for it grew until I have decided to make it my sole occupation and started my own studio in 2019.
