Yael Gavish creates work that highlights our transformation into our truest, most genuine selves.

Like many people, she was taught to live a life by other people’s ideas of what a life should be. She played by the rules and ended up living a life that wasn’t hers as a technology and business executive. She was living from her mind and learned to ignore her intuition. It was only when she learned to trust and follow her intuition that she realized she was an artist and always had been.

She now makes acrylic and fiber paintings that allude to the female form but are abstracted. They are close-ups of the figure because when we get closer to our true selves, the energy matters more than the form.

Gavish lives and works in Nyack, NY. She holds an MBA from The Wharton School, and a BA and MSc from Technion Israel Institute of Technology. She spent many years in management consulting and technology product management before transitioning to a career in art. Her paintings are in private collections throughout the US, where she has resided for over two decades.
