FEATURED MEMBER

Yael Maimon

Ashkelon, Israel

Yael Maimon is an Israeli artist. She resides in Ashkelon, Israel and is best known for her Cats painting series. Her special bond with cats was created while volunteering for years at an animal rescue center in her hometown. Today, Yael takes care of abandoned kittens, raises elderly cats and feeds many street cats. Although grounded in realism, her artwork is often impressionist in nature, traditional yet contemporary. She enjoys painting in a variety of media including oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic and mixed media. Her artwork was featured in solo and collective art exhibitions in Israel and abroad and gained international recognition.
