Fifteen
years ago, when we lived in Israel, we began this series of paintings

continue
to add to this body of work every time we return.

Yonnah began her art career
with bronze sculptures of birds. She is definitely in the
tradition of naturalist artists.

Paintings
on Cinema
"Casbah" 22 x 30 in.
Dying of Romanticism
Exhibited at the Jerusalem Theater for the Jerusalem Film
Festival
in July, 1996. First was the performance, which was filmed, then
televised, then photographed from the tv screen, then blown up onto
rice paper and then painted. So, like many of Romantic notions
themselves, this is six steps from reality.

Americana
"Cama Beach Cabins" 11 x 15 in.
Cama Beach Portfolio
Much of our work is inspired by the
documentary
tradition and relates to history. This bungalow colony, a family
fishing
resort on Camano Island in the Puget Sound dates from the 1930's.

Judaica
"Megilla (Scroll of the Book of Esther)"
Jerusalem, 2005, 22 x 30 in.
Jerusalem
Living in
Israel for many years, we have often found inspiration in the sites and
artifacts of religious faith. Art began as an expression of
spirituality, even in the cave paintings of Lascaux. We return often to
Israel for many reasons, but among them is to gather material for our
art.

Words & Pictures

We
began our collaboration on this series with an old dot matrix printer,
given by a friend, printing on hand made paper, made by another friend.
The underlying photograph was taken with a cheap pocket camera held
together with duct tape.

Abstraction is everywhere; it's just a matter of seeing. Sometimes
it's taking something out of context, and sometimes it's tweaking it
a little.

We
have tried to present our work in a pleasing and comprehensible manner.
Picasso said that there are two kinds of artists: the ones who find a
formula and stick with it, and the ones who allow themselves to grow.
