Ahuva Sherman (Template:Lang-he; born 1926) is an Israeli artist who works in oil, pastel, and wall tapestries.
Biography
She was born in Tel-Aviv, Palestine, and now lives and works in Haifa, Israel, with her studio atop Mount Carmel. Ahuva's studies were with Menachem Shemi and Prof. P. K. Hoenich at the Hammersmith School of Art in London, England, as well as in the Netherlands and the United States.[1] Her inspiration is drawn from the land of Israel, and this can be seen and felt in her pieces. Israeli themes such as the white buildings of Jerusalem, the waves of the Mediterranean, and views of the country from above are predominant in her work. Ahuva has held numerous exhibitions and her art is present in many collections and museums both in Israel and abroad.
