View the work of Yehudit Chayil and her inspirational message that "no challenge is too great." Meet this talented artist at the opening reception on Sunday, February 12 from 3:00 to 5:30pm.
Artist Biography: As the years go on I have come to embrace that life is what we make it. I enjoy expressing my life desires, experiences, and visions through my art. I began my expressions through art, only six years ago. As I have had a disability all of my life, I was not confident that I would be able to find ways to put my thoughts on canvas as it requires steady hands, of which, I have not. However, I have indeed found ways to accommodate my unsteady hands, rather unconventional to most, but which work for me. I do not have any particular style, nor do I favor any particular topic. I find beauty in all walks of life and I enjoy exploring new challenges to express on the canvas. I strive to improve with all things, including my painting, and I work at it not to perfection, but to hopefully bring viewers into my world for just a short time.
