well as recent paintings.

If you happen to be in New York, please stop by and say hello. It would be
lovely to see/meet you!

Warm regards,
Orit

The Opening Gallery, is an initiative that supports contemporary art and
international artists beyond the confines of the art market, while it
fosters cultural engagement and exchanges between the US and the globe.
This alternative art ecosystem attempts to go beyond prevalent gallery
models and to showcase global underrepresented artists, performances and
live events, and the work of women artists and artists of color. Proceeds
support neurodiversity, charitable causes, and the non-profit Luv Michael,
which is committed to enriching the lives of autistic adults.
