15" x 15" Papercut by Enya Keshet. Framed. Signed and numbered.

"Through wisdom a house is built,
And through understanding it is established;
Through knowledge its rooms are filled
With all precious and beautiful treasures."

Enya Keshet was born in Pardes Hanna, Israel. As a young woman she moved to Jerusalem, where she studied at the Hebrew University and at Bezalel Academy of Art. After the birth of her three children, she became increasingly interested in Judaic art. Her first experience in paper-cutting was an experimental one, when she created a papercut illustration for a school project her daughter was working on. Her acquaintance with a traditional scribe (sofer) led her to the idea of combining the art of paper cutting with the calligraphy of Megillot (scrolls).

Her artwork has evolved extensively from this beginning. Later she moved back to her hometown of Pardes Hanna, where her studio is today.
