I started drawing as soon as I could hold a crayon, and have been a self-taught artist till I arrived at Bezalel Academy of Art & Design. My love for books started in early childhood: before I could read, I used to bug all the members of my family to read for me. Later, the fairy tales and adventure stories I read inspired me to create drawings to accompany and enrich them. 

I used to create images just to let my imagination run wild, and it was a joyous day when I discovered this could turn into a career.

My graduation short animation film, “Some space for tomorrow” has been exhibited in numerous international film festivals. After graduating B.Des with honors from The Dept. of Visual Communication in Bezalel , I worked for a while as a leading animator in a great animation studio near Jerusalem. After that I continued working as a designer and animator for diverse clients, ranging from hi-tech companies, children’s TV Channel, to magazines, newspapers and various publications. All the while I kept illustrating books, and eventually decided to focus on that.

I have worked with the most prominent Israeli writers and publishers, and my illustrated books won praising reviews and gained commercial success. I like combining classical techniques – such as colored pencils and  watercolors – with digital work. My book work ranges from picture books to chapter books and is imbued with gentleness, humor and warmth.
