In the vibrant art scene of Jerusalem, Leah Lasry stands out as a mixed media artist whose work bridges tradition and innovation. Originally from Montreal, Canada, Lasry's journey to becoming a prominent figure in Jerusalem's art community is as layered and nuanced as her artwork.

Lasry's transition from a background in Psychology and Social Work to the world of art began in 2007. Her move to Israel in 2010 marked a pivotal moment, deepening her connection to her craft and infusing her work with a profound sense of place and spirituality.

What sets Lasry's art apart is her unique blend of materials. She incorporates stained glass, crushed glass, mirrors, and acrylics into her pieces, often integrating fragments from the land of Israel itself. This technique not only creates visually striking works but also imbues each piece with a tangible connection to her adopted homeland.

Jerusalem and Judaism serve as wellsprings of inspiration for Lasry. Her artwork, which has been featured in exhibitions and the Jewish Art Magazine, reflects a deep love for the holy city and aims to inspire viewers through the rich tapestry of Jewish tradition.

Since 2011, Lasry has expanded her role in the art world to include education. She leads weekly mosaic classes in Jerusalem, empowering local women to explore their creativity.

Leah's work can be viewed on Facebook, Instagram and on her website Yetzirati Art, providing an intimate look into her creative process and the vibrant world she creates through her art.
