Personal Statement

I love to wander the streets and in my mind and discover treasures by the wayside and deep in my heart.

I am always curious to discover where the creativity within me interacts with the audience, which in turn recharges and nurtures it anew. Playing different roles and wandering among the worlds of creativity, art, education, community, social initiatives, I feel emotional when these different worlds succeed in coming together to enrich one another.

I promised myself to create a show for children before I brought my own child into this world. I wanted to write and create for children shortly before my point of reference expanded to encompass that of a mother. In this manner, “Bird Story” was conceived, followed by the birth of my sweet Gefen.
