About the Artist

Red Hill, Reaching Vine 14 x 18

Artist Statement:  Born in Tel Aviv, Israel and raised in the Boston area, I’ve lived in Santa Fe since 1994.  My inspiration for painting is the breathtaking New Mexican landscape in all its seasons & moods and the evocative experience of plein-air painting.  In response I paint energetic & vivid landscapes, without brushes, by manipulating different water media on Ampersand’s smooth & textured claybords.  The contrast between fluid, luminous water-media and rigid grooves scratched into the clay surface evokes for me the interaction of natural forces that created New Mexico’s dynamic landscape.

Currently Showing: Canyon Road Paint-Out Show. Giacobbe Fritz Fine Art, 702 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico, October 24 – October 30, 2008

Upcoming Events: Join me at the 15th Annual Christmas in New Mexico Zia Arts & Crafts Festival, held in the Manuel Lujan Building, the State Fairgrounds, Albuquerque New Mexico.  A three-day indoor all arts media show, the festival features over 200 exhibitors, southwest food & entertainment. 2008 festival dates & hours: Friday, Nov. 21, 10am-5pm, Saturday, Nov 22, 10am-6pm, Sunday, Nov 23, 10am-5pm.

Alos in November, I'm hanging a solo show, “Harvest Earth: Expressive Watercolor on Clayboard” at Harry’s Roadhouse, the Old Las Vegas Highway, Santa Fe. The landscape paintings of this series seek to capture different seasons, times of the day, and internal moods through energetic manipulation of water based media on smooth and textured clayboard.  The show runs November 15 – December 10.  Closing Reception: Saturday December 6, 2008 from 4-6pm.
