About
Vered Eliezri Ganchrow
short resume
A graduate of the Department of Industrial Design at Bezalel, I studied classical animation at Sheridan College in Canada and received my master’s degree in cinema from the Tel-Aviv University.
I work and create diverse, commissioned as well as personal projects in illustration, art and animation from my studio in the Jerusalem foothills.
I’ve been teaching drawing and animation for over two decades in Israel’s leading higher education institutions as well as my own studio.
On a personal note…
My work begins in quiet moments of observation. While observing, there are invitations and opportunities to go in unplanned directions and wander through the spaces of creation. On a trip like this, you arrive at an interesting, new, full of movement and amazing places. It is a very lively place and I strive to bring freshness, movement and livelihood to the image using both powerful and refined qualities.
