About me

Created from my heart…
Art and Hospitality

My passion lies in the process of creating art, and has been for many years. After raising four boys and becoming a proud grandmother, I understood that my love for art and for people needs to become a way of life, and that is how I started my business – by combining the things that I love most – art, creation, people, and hospitality.

Hospitality / Guest Cottage

We all live life at a fast pace, often without taking a real breath. Here, in the Negev, you’re invited to slow down — to wake up to the sound of birds, breathe in the crisp desert air, and start your day naturally, without an alarm clock or the rush of daily routine. Let us take care of the details while you simply relax and enjoy a perfect romantic getaway.

Come and experience what we lovingly call “desert time.” Feel the serenity, the endless horizons, and the gentle quiet that surrounds everything here. Just an hour and a half from Tel Aviv, you’ll find a world that feels far away — calm, authentic, and full of warmth.

Our hospitality comes straight from the heart. With years of experience and a deep love for this region, we’re here to help you plan your stay and make it unforgettable — whether it’s discovering local treasures or simply watching a breathtaking sunset from your porch.

The African Cottage, our family project, was lovingly created together with our four sons, from the structure and furniture to the smallest artistic details. Every element was crafted with care to create a warm, authentic space that feels like home.

Guests are also invited to visit my ceramics studio and gallery, located right next to the cottage, where handmade creations come to life. You can even join a private pottery session and create your own desert-inspired piece — a lasting memory of your time here.

We look forward to welcoming you with open arms, homemade treats, and a touch of true desert magic.

Art – Gallery and Workshops

I see art – the process of creating – as the meeting point between body and soul. On the roof of our desert home, with views of open spaces and amazing Negev sunsets, sits my workshop and gallery. For years, I have been working with various materials and making art that reflects the way I see the world – colourful, fluid, textured, and useful. Guests are more than welcome to visit the gallery, purchase a local handmade souvenir from a variety of pieces, including Judaica, homeware, ornaments and decorations, lighting, and more.

My studio is a unique space where raw materials take shape and become something new entirely. The process is incredibly energising, and even after years of working with clay, I find that I am constantly learning and discovering new things.

I want to share this energy and joy of creating with my guests, offering workshops and classes for people of all ages and abilities. Whether alone, with a partner or in a group, time in the studio is time for the soul. The world outside continues on its way, but in the studio, time stands still and provides an opportunity for true enjoyment – to disconnect from our worries, and connect with ourselves.
