Grew up in Haifa, Traveled mostly around Europe and a little in the US. Recently finished my Animation studies at Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem (also been studying film in FAMU, Prague).

Have been a freelance artist for some years before too. exhibited in some galleries, organized a few social happenings and art-projects. And nowadays... I'm building an Eco-Art community in Israel and I'm mostly financing myself through freelance Animation, illustration, and design.

All in all, I'm trying to live life fully & actively. Hoping to experience and enjoy the world as it is, to help as much as i can, and to do my part in spreading happiness in the scenery and eating all the mushrooms and the marzipan on the way! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through Europe, i decided to walk from France to Spain, through the Mid-Pyrenees, and so I did . the climb was crazy, so high and rocky, so beautiful and harsh. stayed the night on the mountains, everything was hissing and flying because of the strong winds, and coming down from the other side the day afterwards, the view was so breathtaking, i just had to say something, so i shouted out the only phrase i knew in spanish at the time: "Beba otra copa de vino espanol!" which means: drink another cup of spanish wine! :OD

Teach, Learn, Share

wow, i can teach a lot about the different kinds of art: Animation, Illustration, Painting, Photography, and such... and what i know about my point of view on the world... maybe a thing or two about Judaism & life in Israel as well...

And Well, as to do with learning... I have a big appetite for learning all the time, so try me... :O)
