My name is Hila, mother of my three loves Shay, Guy and Itai, living with my partner, friend and dearest son. An inseparable part of us is Shane the sweet poodle.

For as long as I can remember, art has surrounded me from all sides and has been an integral part of my essence. Paintbrush, camera, canvas, stones, plaster, paint, palette, easel, and everything in between.

“Raw material in the hands of the creator” has always been a part of me and who I am. I was exposed to goldsmithing through a talented and expensive friend, I took private lessons and goldsmithing has accompanied me ever since. Even when I was busy over the years in the field of education, I continued to study the field of goldsmithing, delve deeper, become more professional and have been involved in it for over twenty years.

Goldsmithing activates all my senses every day – the touch of metal, the sound of grinding, forging or sawing, the colors of fire, the shiny look of gold, the smell of solder and the taste of Ood.
