2021 Featured Artist Yoram Gal

Yoram Gal Painting Old Jaffa At Night

The 2021 Featured Artist Winner Yoram Gal is from Tel-Aviv, Israel and has been a juried artist at The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival since 2006. He started painting at the age of 12 and exhibiting his work at 13. An all-around artist, Yoram writes plays for stage and screen, paints, directs, and produces shows in his traveling theatre. He has lived and worked in Old Jaffa since 1978. He opened his studio and gallery there in 2015, where he ships his paintings to collectors in 40 countries.

The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival has been graced with Yoram’s masterful and colorful paintings for many years, and we are glad that he has been selected to represent the 2021 Festival.

Mark & Patti Mohrenweiser of Brighton, Michigan use this ancient medium to create beautifully subtle works of art.
