The Present is only glorified & known in the past. Our emotions aren’t ripe enough to grasp the entirety of the present. If only we were able to. Be present. All in. Trying to be focused, fully committed, like this defining moment...

What do you see when you look at this? I see a force, a powerful strong force in a simplistic form. That reminds me that a force doesn’t have to be blaring to be strong. Many times it’s the exact opposite. Force can have the greatest impact in its essence of simplicity.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication “ - Leonardo Da Vinci || Life is a simple game, us humans, complicate it. I think about this all the time...deep down we know the answers..

Focus on the present...

I took the kids to the park this morning, and as I was sitting on the bentch, I had an urge to check my phone.

The birds sounded so nice and the air was incredibly fresh.

Everything felt so good...I had to give myself permission to let it in.

To just sit and think about nothing. Just relax.

Just let it all in. I hope this painting can do some of that for you. #yaelioriginal

‎ירושלים של מעלה בזמן המשיח

When I stand by fire, I am always moved. The energy that is in front of me is so powerful- I’m awe struck!
Yesterday we lit fires and danced. Raising our vibration, feeling the energy - spiritual energy!! Lifting our spirits, seeping into our souls...& lighting up our world. Light up your world and let it in...I painted alef bet flying out of the fire to signify the energy going out into the world. Each letter is worlds! It’s actually energy. It has power to create! So let it in - the power, the holiness and kedusha.

There is a simplicity here with all the white, which I set out to create. Then a burst of color with the floral arrangement which makes the painting sing! Congratulations, Happy anniversary, Mazal tov!

This painting was inspired by the current reality. I started it before but just finished and decided to title it as such. I’m talking to myself here but feel free to read and join along...Let’s be kinder to each other. Not outwardly nice. Actually internally interested, engaged & kind to our fellow brothers and sisters. KINDHEARTED. || I wanted to keep this painting very light and airy. There are lots of metallics.

HIDDEN LIGHT: I started this painting right before Chanukah. I did a bit here and there and then left it sitting on the easel for me to keep adding a stroke when ever I saw my next move. I came back to it Thursday night to finish it up. It was the only thing I wanted to do. Thursday afternoon I got into a minor car accident. Although, it could have been major - I was inches away from death happening. We’re all ok BH, but I’m so shaken up. As I was painting, I was processing my thoughts - and what I’ve come to realize, is that HaShem is watching over me and He’s watching over you too. There was so much good that was there - the lady I was bumped was so nice. An African American woman. Sweet nice lady. The police man was kind as well. A neighbor came out of her house and offered to watch my baby so that I didn’t have to hold him in the cold. My step father came and took the bigger boys. In a moment of chaos, I felt safe. I really believe that we create our own safe havens and it has to come from inside of ourselves. We project that energy into our lives. Yes, I was moments away from really scary things & it was a personal wake up call to me, I’m not sure for what - I’m still processing, but it was mirroring to me what is happening on a macro level - we are being yelled to - wake up! We don’t need to go on Jewish news groups to be immersed in chaos all day long. That instills insecurity In is from within! That’s the worst thing! We don’t need to harp and watch and read...we need to think and take personal action to be better. Time to Wake up....

..And I will carry you on the wings of eagles....”. As I was painting the colors onto the canvas I had no clear direction. Just let the color lead the way. When I was done, the movement was insane and I saw flying things. That’s when this concept came to me. Al Kanfi Nesharim. The eagles that will bring us back to Jerusalem. I wanted the movement and the color to take precedence and the image second. I hope I did it justice.

We’re always on a path. The journey never ends. Once it’s been found, a whole new entrance awaits.
Four years ago, I went on a soul journey. (Not on purpose, it’s just happened) Starting to paint made me think deeply about my life, the people in it and what I wanted to create with it all. I felt alive! I was on my path. I had deep desires and I was watching them come alive. It was incredible!! Then It would plauto and I found myself needing to “walk” again. To want, to create, to grow. It hit me. We don’t stay and sit on the path, we’re always walking, growing. That’s life!! The process is IN the journey.
So wherever you find yourself on the path, around the bend is another entrance to explore EVEN more.

Ayeca -
Where are you? Where are you God?
He’s in every single one of us. A chelek elokah m’mal - a piece of God from above.
Inside us.
We have to go inside and find him. Search internally.
But how?
Gratitude and fear cannot live at the same moment. When we shift our perceptive to see good, fear dissipates. Then God appears.
God is inside you and me, and small miracles are all over the place on the outside. We Just have to look.

KOL HAOLAM KULO - The whole world is a narrow bridge...and the main thing is to have no fear at all...The song plays in my head quite often, in moments of stress I hear it louder. Here’s the song with color!

Diamond Chips. Jerusalem skyline. Chips on your shoulder. Do you have any? They may just be your greatest possession yet - look closely. They’re DIAMONDS.

There is something so serene about Friday Night prayers are the Kotel.  
I close my eyes and see it...right after lighting the candles, going down to the Kotel for a prayer.  You can almost touch the spiritual hug from God.  It feels so safe and warm.  Surrounded by glistening lights, and holy sounds.  
If only I can be there right now.  I yearn for the day..in the meantime I will paint.  Paint the scene for all of our souls to soak in...

All in a good way...By the candles I pray. To give, to have, to raise healthy and happy children, for health and wellness, shalom (peace) wealth and safety...Everything in a good way. Then I see the flames. I stop and stare. Fire. It’s SO much. It’s so good, so passionate, so strong, so moving, and so destructive. I’m reminded all in a good way...

THE PRESENT. This thought has been on replay in my mind all week - every day we are reborn. We only know up to why we know. We only lived as much as we lived, and TODAY, the present, is new for all of us. It’s a new day to learn about each other - ourselves, our spouses, our children, our parents and our friends. Today is a gift. It’s new and it’s a chance! Don’t think that there’s no use. It’s a fresh page in everyone’s book. We can’t flip to the end. We’re all turning the page one day at a time... #yaelioriginal #thesignatureingold

Day in a day out. Small or big we have the power to a new beginning.

This painting was my escape for the two weeks. I was using a photo as a reference and it was very intricate and overwhelming. I told myself: “one stroke at a time”...When I couldn’t see anymore, I left my brushes for the next day. It didn’t feel pressurized - I just would slowly add more strokes, knowing that something would emerge. It was my nightly escape, each time going to my studio and painting some more until something did happen! It turned out very different from my other works but very cool. With all of that, introduce to you: ASCENDING.

She’s a queen and he’s a king. That’s how it should be in this moment in time and always. Royalty... golds, and purple - symbolic in the colors... with the previous generations all around them, wishing this upon them. To treat each other well, always. With the anani hakavod above, surrounding them with all the answers...

I always wanted to paint Bereshit...I had a vision and didn’t know how to get there. I wanted something different, something that can hang innocently without the viewer knowing right away what the painting represents. I didn’t know this painting would be it. I started off painting 8 lines, and I figured the inspiration would find me somewhere. Then it hit me. Change the 8 into 7 and make it Bereshit. And somehow this happened!

 I wanted to depict it’s holiness, spirituality, majestic ness - all of it!! With much effort and prayer, this painting that you’re looking at, came forth. Then I found mother of pearl paint, which gave the Bais Hamikdash (Temple) the most ethereal feeling and it was complete. I added people walking, to inspire us. To make it real. May we be so fortunate to see this our real lives.

This Original Painting is called Mispallim. It shows people in the midst of praying to G-d. The beautiful uplifting background colors really make this painting stand out!

Artist inspiration: "Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real”. A funny thing happens - people tell you to think big, to go for it, but then when you do, they look at you like your a little crazy. Or tell you that it won’t happen. (Or if they’re your parent, tell you to go back to your real job) So what is it? Just words? “Dream big.. go for it..” nice lofty words that no one actually expects to come into fruition, so they can be said easily? It’s interesting...but the truth is, for those of you smart enough to believe in your dreams & the few people telling you to go for it, you’re doing the right thing! Because your reality is what you make it. And if you can trail-blaze past all the people who look at you like you’ve lost it, then you will eventually live your dream. It’s H.A.R.D work, but if you can dream it, you can create it. DREAM BIG. YOU can do it!

This painting is also available in Semi-Original Giclee and Digital Print.

This large painting has been on my easel for what seems like eternity!! I worked on it so much, enjoying the process..incorporating lots of emotion and good feeling..some bold strokes, some softer, and lots of spring!

What drew me to this scene was the light and the stones - How the light is shining on the stones. The stones that tell stories of so many years....The stones that shine with our history. Stones that are saturated with so much holiness. It’s simply magical...I hope I did them some justice.

I had started out this painting with an idea of where I wanted to take it. As I put the first two layers on the canvas, my mind began to shift. I then took a break,and when I came back, I saw something completely different! It's so cool how that happens!! My brain had an agenda, but my heart knew something else...yea..sometimes, it's just better to go with the flow and see what life brings instead of forcing what we think is best...so I went along with what I saw, and after a long time, I was finally satisfied with the results! Souls at The Kotel

Strong, courageous and eyes blurred from her tears...Leah Emainu. How strong she must have been to be secondary and know it. When I think of leah, I think of her being the mother to most of the shavtim - to have the zechus to birth and raise such people...WOW.

A Woman...unassuming, yet confident. ROCHEL, our Jewish mother. When I think of Rochel, I think of her selflessness which was...otherworldly! I think of her praying for us and crying for our ultimate redemption. May we see it very soon!

A beacon of light, kindness and inspiration. RIVKA, our second matriarch. Rivka is dressed in white since she was the ultimate bride and wife, embodying true giving while maintaining independence and trusting to her own voice. No one really knows what she looked like, but it’s a feeling that we all have when we envision and close our eyes from all the stories we heard and learned.

The story of David hamelech always moves me. Maybe it’s because of the struggle or maybe it’s because of the royalty. Or maybe it’s the combination of the two. Maybe it’s because of the struggles and his kingship which makes it so appealing! He was a descendant of a geyores, he loved to fight and enjoyed blood. He was in the run for quite some time and couldn’t warm up in the end of his days. But yet, David Hamelech used it all for the good, & he sang. He sang to his creator and never gave up hope. And even though his background was less then of prestige, he came about the crown, so it doesn’t matter. The past doesn’t matter. It’s only the present and the future. What we make of it, and who we become! I look to David hamelch and the Sefer Tehillim for hope, comfort and guidance. To be a person of leadership, there is much responsibility. We are all a package deal, but it’s what we do and how we channel it all that makes all the difference. 
In this painting you will see a lion which represents Yehuda / royalty, where David descends from. There is the harp which was basically his lifeline with Alef bet pouring out of it singing to HaShem, and the beit hamikdash which his decentednt built and will build. It’s all encapsulated in a 24k gold crown.
