2019
I finished up the Yahel Social Change fellowship in Rishon LeTsion in the summertime, and moved to Jerusalem afterwards. I worked on artwork independently throughout the year.

Figure Drawings
I had been thinking about finding a figure drawing class to attend regularly for years. In 2019, I attended figure drawing sessions in Tel Aviv almost weekly, and I finished the year with hundreds of sketches. Below are a few.

Community projects
Good Deeds Day - Mural at Moked Klita
This mural was organized by Tarbut, a social arts movement in Israel. The project was completed during my time as a fellow on the Yahel Social Change Fellowship, during which I volunteered with Tarbut. The mural was designed by a Tarbut volunteer and executed by Tarbut, their junior high grafitti club and individuals attending Moked Klita programming. Moked Klita is an absorption center for immigrants; this particular office helps Ethiopian immigrants. The mural is located at the Moked Klita in Ramat Eliyahu, Rishon LeTsion and features crops grown in Israel and Ethiopia.
Up-cycling workshops
I helped lead two up-cycling workshops for a group of elderly women at a community center in Nachalaot, Jerusalem. We converted plastic bags into yarn/ribbon and we sewed and crocheted with it.
