With time I started using acrylics, It gives me freedom that oils did not. Why you ask, acrylics dry faster I can use layer on top of layer to accomplish a statement that was hard to get with oils. Lyering technique truly freed me to reach a broader 3D affect.

Pen & Ink drawing is fun smooth and flowing. I love how I can manipulate , darken, lines curves to architecture. My theme throughout my pens and ink is modern music klezmers/jazz, architectural lines of arches , Jerusalem stone, bridges , alleyways and elongated stairs. I like to humanize my drawing. You can find subject matter of males wearing Tallit , or putting on Tephilin .In my memory I go back to my father , the neighborhood synagogue, the melodies of the sephardic toon of prayers and my dad his friends.

My techniques evolved also through the years, I find my self using all kind of tools to make textures Thickness of paint, use of different brush strokes and palette knives, tape, sponges and more.

I’m using mix media such as oils and a thin cote of acrylic to get an effect of “there” but its not, because oil repel acrylic and water. I’m not as stringent as I use a brush . My use of a brush is loos and airy. I’m using “riskier” technique such as splatter effect ,using an array of collage art,  Indian inks to reach my goal.
