Tal, the Artist!

I have been an Artist ever since my childhood!  I remember painting, drawing, sewing, decorating, and finding treasures on my nature walks, always returning with pockets full of stones, shells, flowers, snails, sticks, and a head full of inspiration, imagination, and dreams!  I remember what my Grandmother told me as a little girl:  "You have an eye of an artist!"  For me, it meant I had a distinct perspective and ability to see beyond the surface, such that I can add my imagination, and create what is called, art.  In my jewelry, I bring together organic materials with my inspiration, and mix it with imagination, to create stories in metal and stones!  I also bring other people's stories and imagination to create jewelry from them!  My homeland is Israel, a land of ancient history and holy places.  For me, it is my homeland.  I love its nature and the experience of being there.  My adventurous nature and desire to explore have guided me to many countries, a major one being the United States!  I am inspired by places, people, colors, children's laughter, flowers, rivers, the smell of fresh bread, sand dunes, trees, small turtles, lakes, and more...  Often, when I observe a stone or a place, I travel in my imagination to bring a piece of jewelry to life!  It always touches my heart when people appreciate my creations!  I hope you will be inspired and enjoy them, too!
