Artist Profile

Focusing on personal experiences, Meetal portrays emotions and feelings connected with our innermost being. Her provocative art awakens the viewer to new avenues of intellectual thought never before explored. Her name Meetal is Hebrew meaning: "arising from the morning dew” and is very appropriate. Each time one looks at one of her paintings, they are directed by new images and meanings. Every angle provides a new and unusual insight.

The spiritual nature of Meetal’s work has been enhanced and inspired through her life experiences and the study of Kabbalah: an ageless spiritual teaching based in the Old Testament and other ancient texts. It is the study of this timeless knowledge which enables Meetal to, finally, put words to the thoughts and feelings her soul constantly sought after. Kabbalah allowed her to further understand the images emerging on her canvas, “appearing organically, as though they wanted to be seen.”

Meetal is a child of Holocaust survivors and telling her parent's stories created an ever present responsibility in her life. For years, she struggled to find a voice to their experiences. She finally realized that it would be up to her. She created a series of twelve paintings and four sculptures that are now traveling throughout the United States, to educate and remind people of the horror man is capable of.

While in high school Meetal received a scholarship to Cooper Union School of Art and later received a Fashion Design Degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has had numerous one-person and group showings throughout the United States and Israel, including a solo Museum show at the Dallas Holocaust Museum in Dallas, Texas. She has participated at Art Expo in New York. She received a special award from the State of Israel Bonds, for her participation in an International Arts Gathering which took place in July 2005 in Israel, where Jewish, Christian and Muslim artists came together to share their works.
