Ah! The richness of mud pies! The "ugliest" of colors lead to the loveliest of color discoveries.

I am constantly fascinated by flattening perspective via color and pattern, and breaking the hierarchy of objects and background, even in such clearly defined objects such as here.

I am Jerusalem artist, creating primarily (though not only) Jewish art. My work, including older illustrations and graphic design can be viewed at my more formal website: http://www.mazalart.com/
More work, also including sketches and experiments can be viewed
I was born in the US, and have been living and creating in Jerusalem since 1980. At times, I feel like an acrobat, bouncing between two competing, yet complementary cultures. Likewise, my artwork is a balancing act: I juggle my commitments to serious artistic concerns, and to Jewish traditions and beliefs, with pleasure from adventures in colour, pattern and temperament.
