About me


My name is Meira Batya Goodfriend and I am driven to paint and create from a love of the colorful spirited life I see around me. I grew up in Los Angeles, U.S.A., where I studied Product Design and Painting at Otis College of Art and Design. 
I've had a solo painting exhibition, designed a fantastical artistic bakery, and created a prototype for a computer game based on my religious upbringing.
Now I live in Tel Aviv, Israel, where I paint the amazing colorful life around me!
