ADIEU / Light House

Born in Israel in 1948, Edna Miron-Wapner was brought up and educated in Montreal. She returned to her family's Israeli roots in 1977 and settled in Jerusalem. She has lived there since, apart from a five-year sojourn in California from 1985-90.

As an artist with specialties in Printmaking, Sumi-e Painting, Calligraphy, and Papermaking, she has exhibited her work over the past thirty years in museums and galleries in the US, Israel, Europe, Russia and Japan. Her own approach to her art is a spiritual one facilitated through meditation followed by spontaneous creation.

As an Expressive Arts Therapist and Educator, she created a course called "Expressive Kavannah" which uses an intermodal model to explore identity through the arts. She is the founder of two studios in Jerusalem: Studio Spiral, a unique Children's Creativity Center and Studio Indigo, an Adult Expressive Arts Center. She has been artist in residence and therapist/educator at institutes, schools and communities in the U.S, Israel and Great Britain.
