Huvy (Ahuva) Elisha was born in Israel in 1927 and died in 2022. Trained in Europe, Huvy was a classically educated impressionist and post-impressionist artist who works with pastel, watercolor, pen, and oil. She devoted her art pieces to depictions of life of Meah Shearim, the ultrareligious district of Jerusalem, as well as beauty of blooming nature. Huvy’s freshness and joy of life is evident in all her paintings. Huvy never tired of painting wedding scenes; luscious garden ceremonies, blooming trees, exuberant chuppas, jubilant flowers, the bride and groom’s joining of their souls – so full of traditions and symbols.
