American-Israeli Yael Harris Resnick is a self-taught multimedia artist known for her hand painted silk, acrylic paintings and, most strikingly, integrating silk accents on her canvases. Influenced by her mother, calligrapher and ketubah artist Hedy Harris, much of Yael’s work involves Judaic and Biblical motifs and illustrates the splendor of the land of Israel using a vibrantly colorful palette. Inspired by great historical female artists like Freda Khalo, Yael strives to bring brave female heroines into the limelight.
“[In the religious world] there is an abundance of art featuring rabbis and men while women are erased and silenced. There is no better time to showcase the beauty of strong Jewish females.” Yael’s work captures the ancient raw emotion of Jewish history while maintaining a relevant vividness of modern times.
Yael is an award-winning artist who has been recognized by the Washington DC Calligraphers Guild, Israel’s Artists Guild, and Misrad Hatamat (Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor). She lives in Israel with her husband and four kids.
