I was born in the Netherlands and after WW2 went to israel .Widowed , 2 married sons,5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson .For 17 years I lived near the Negev desert and am still influenced by this landscape , even after living 40 year beside the sea.The wide spaces , colors and the stark contrasts, all have a part in my work.I work from fantasy with an idea from an association or a dream. Most of my work is minimalist-abstract in order to capture the essence , without the 'frills',
