My Story

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I'm Netta, and I have  an interesting life story, so they say :-) 

Until the age of 15 I ran quite a normal life; I was a friendly geek high school student who split her spare time between art and sports: during the day I was a medal-winning athlete and tennis player, and when it all went dark I would enjoy making handcrafts. 

Sounds like the beginning of an ordinary story, right? just wait to hear the rest...

Gallery

The ideas that come out of my paintings, which sometimes surprise people due to my physical disability, is that life is beautiful. My art combines precision, attention to detail and vibrant motives. I work primarily in acrylics and often employ bold colors in a way that captures the colorful, optimistic side of reality in a naïve-romantic-realistic manner.

I have written and illustrated three children’s books, published by the Association Mouth and Foot Painting Artists:
 

  • Who’s Wooly?A story about inclusion, uniqueness, and true friendship. Suitable for ages 2–5.

  • The Shrew Who Pushed His Nose ThroughA charming tale about curiosity, courage, and self-discovery. Suitable for ages 3–6.

  • Hidden DoorA magical poetry book about imagination, fantasy, and the worlds children create. Suitable for ages 5–9.
     

All three books were edited by renowned children’s author Ofra Galbert-Avni, and are available to order online.

Exhibitions

I take part in group exhibitions and also curate my own solo shows throughout the year. You’re welcome to follow and stay updated on my Facebook page.

If you have a private or public space and would like to invite me to exhibit, I'd be delighted! Just get in touch.

Lectures

Imagine that one day you get up in the morning and unable to move and feel your body.

No hands, no legs, paralyzed from the neck down.

 

What would you do?

I invite you to hear my story, live.

Press

Newspaper articles, TV appearances & online publications - local to international, personal to professional. Since my spinal cord injury I've been trying to get my story out there as much as possible and (hopefully) convey my optimistic message to the world.
