Orit was born and raised in Israel, she is a multi-medium artist, a painter and a member of The Painter and Sculpture Society since 1996 and holds the title Haifa’s Honor Artist.

Orit has a diploma in graphic design from NB Haifa Academy of Design and is a certified teacher.

​

Orit’s work is mostly inspired by nature and our country’s views. The blue sky and the colors of the ocean, bright yellow sun and the color of the sand, the local plants and birds also appear in her work. Orit’s art varies, from abstract to realistic. In her work, she examines the existing, the shapes, the textures, colors and recreates her own version of Israel. We can see in Orit’s work different techniques and a mix of materials (collage).
 

In Orit’s words “as a creator who was born and raised in Israel, in a complex society that is in a constant state of struggle to defend her existence I respond and express through my art as I long for harmony, order, peace and comradeship”.

 

The Chairman of The Israel Painters & Sculptors Association,

Dr. Zvika Israel (RIP) wrote about Orit in 1998:
"Orit belongs to a younger group in our community of artists, she is completely cohesive and mature, that is well reflected in her modern creation and speaks for itself.

As a post-modern artist, her ambition and direction is different from the approach of the classic and realistic artists. Orit is a creator, who doesn’t stop looking for new paths, examines visual study and work has a different perception of space and yet stays ethical and moral

as she wishes to “fix the world” and hopes for better reality"

​

Orit has many years of experience in education. She taught in a special education elementary school EYAL in Akko as well as AMAL High School in Nahariya. She also worked for the Ministry of Education as an external examiner of design and painting in OFEK High School in Evron.

 

Over the last three decades Orit teaches in an art studio for adults, teens and children.

Always in a supportive and pleasant atmosphere, individually adjusted to each student’s level and skill. The lessons are at the highest level of art education, from classic and figurative drawing and painting to abstract creations in varies techniques. Orit is highly praised and appreciated by her students and the people who surround her.

In April 2010 , Bella Zaichik Shomer, art curator in Israel, published a unique art book under the title "ART”  in which some of Orit’s best work of art is presented.
