HELLO, HEJ, SHALOM!  
I am a creative artist from Copenhagen, Denmark

My artwork is inspired by my heritage, symbolism and spirituality which I have always been drawn to. In 2013 I began exploring the world of the Hamsa Hand symbol artistically, including the symbolic elements often expressed, such as eyes, doves and fish!   This exploration in ink on paper resulted in my first exhibition in Tel Aviv of 14 original ink drawings and many more unique and whimsical Hamsa-inspired ink drawings followed. Since then I continue to develop my style within my contemporary Judaica artworks, as well as through paintings and drawings. I work from my home-studio and primarily in ink, gouache, acrylics and mixed mediums, on paper and canvas.
