Geula Meruk-Cahen | Prints

Resume
Born in Kibbutz Sde Nehemia, Upper Galilee, Israel.

Work expresses mostly the tense interactions between various forms and textures, for which printing, with its wide variety of expressions, is particularly suited. Nature views, especially those from the childhood surroundings of the Upper Galilee, are a recurring theme in her works, building on simple compositions and rich texture of earlier works.
