Sara Sefton Shor

born in 1955 in Toronto, Canada. From 1977 resides in Israel. 

Sara Sefton Shor is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, Canada and has an academic degree in Art History from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Her works cover a wide range of subjects with a focus on scenery and "cityscapes".

"I am attracted by the imperfections of life – the cracks, the crumbling stones, the bent bars of the gates-all these appear in my paintings but by translating them into a “whole” of plays of colour, light and shadow, texture and ornament, I create for myself and for my viewers a serenity that is there if we just look for it."
