"I use each day to bring my past to the lives of my children and all who appreciate my art." ~ Hava The Artist known as Hava was born 1962 in Israel. He migrated with his family to the United States in the late 1970's bringing with him a lifetime of memories from his native Middle Eastern culture. Once taking up residency in New York City he was able to bring these memories of the people and landscape to life through his art. Working nightly in the Jazz clubs of New York as a clarinet player he dreamed of the day his first loved art form would be highly acclaimed enough to earn him the respect of his peers and his family. Working the spring and summer art shows of the area his landscape and figurative art began to be noticed for its detail and beauty. A show at an East village gallery brought his art before the collectors and critics of NYC. Moving west as the turn of the century approached Hava broadened his work to cover all the aspects his past of the middle eastern culture. He settled in Sante Fe New Mexico with his wife and 2 young children.
