I’m Gitty. My birth certificate says New York,
but Jerusalem claimed me as her own since I made aliyah at 9 years old. 

I’m grateful to live here: 
A land of so much emotion and meaning. A land with ancient history cloaking its streets and alleyways.A land of love and legend and the richness of life. A land… but so much more. To me, and to us all, Israel is home.

Playing with color
I began my art journey as a little girl in the States coloring in my mom’s huge drawings. When I moved to Israel, I learned from local artists and Russian immigrants who were art instructors in Moscow academies. I was naturally drawn to paintings of Israel and her themes, topics that have always played such pivotal roles in our nation’s story and my own life.

Growing beyond Jerusalem
I taught art in the Israeli Ministry of Arts and Culture for 30 years. Just before Covid-19 hit, I began selling my art online. Since then, my paintings have been displayed in galleries across the world and in private and corporate collections throughout Israel, the US, Europe, Canada, Brazil, and Australia.

Sharing my world
I love how people connect to my art, saying it evokes deep emotions every time anew. With my use of color, texture and movement you will find something different speaking to your heart every day. It’s most gratifying when clients tell me that my art is like a therapy session on the wall — releasing stress and allowing them to relax — inviting them in to see the world from my viewpoint in stunning swirls of light and color.
