About
Etty started drawing at an early age and was introduced to watercolors in her teens. Etty immigrated to the USA over 50 years ago. While living in California she went to school at the historic Hollywood Art Center, but art took a back seat to raising a family and work in finance. She has lived in AZ for 16 years now and found more time to paint after retiring. “Creating art is part of my soul and I can’t imagine life without it. I need to create like I need air to breathe”, said Etty. “My preferred medium is oil, but due to the fumes and raising children, for many years I used water colors as well as colored pencils, charcoal, ink and Digital Art” “I get inspired by many things in life and find beauty everywhere. I find that the process of painting is not only therapeutic for me but addictive in a weird way. If I am not painting, then I am day dreaming or actually dreaming of painting!”
