Resume

I have been painting since the age of three, and was considered a "wunderkind." I was taught in an art school for teenagers. I have exhibited worldwide and have a Saint Gaurdon's Award for Fine Draftmanship. Also, I have a Certificate of Merit from the Carnegie Institute of Fine Arts. I have attended the Brooklyn Musuem of Fine Art with Honor, the Fashion Institute of Technology and Design, and The Art Students League.

I came to Israel in 1962 and was accepted as a life member of The Artists and Sculptors Association of Israel. We have had many exhibits here and abroad including the Ramat Gan Musuem (Kal V'Chomer). My two paneled painting sculpture titled "The Prophecy" is a permanent exhibit at the Bible House on 16 Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv. A portrait of mine of Raoul Wallenberg was incorporated into a documentary film shown throughout the world eliciting 6,000 letters of inquiry forwarded to the Soviet Union. A copy of the painting was exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 1985. A copy is a permanent exhibit at Yad Vashem.

I have letters of recommendation from Eleanor Roosevelit, Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Arick Sharon, Ben Gurion, Ephraim Katzir and many others. My technique is Emotionalism and I work in all media (portraits, landscapes, flowers, realism, surrealism, abstract, with poems attached to some works). I also work in sculpture paintings. Some of my works can be viewed at www.asingularcreation.com, click on Art Gallery, and search for EHPapert. Please contact me at my email address: papert_manuscripts@yahoo.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

With every good wish,
Edith Helen Papert
