Uri and Osnat Yaalon are wood artists with over 25 years of experience. They live in a small village called Neve Ilan in central Israel. Their home, which is their workshop and living space, overlooks the landscape of vineyards and the tree-covered Jerusalem Mountains. Nature and wood have always been the source of their inspiration.

Osnat paints, sculpts and carves wood. She paints in oil and acrylic, and sculpts from the stems of trees found in nature. The carved frames of the wooden pictures evoke memories of places, stories, and meaningful moments.

Uri enjoys reviving wood and giving it the possibility of new meaning through wood turning. Local and imported wood is rejuvenated during this process of recreation.
