ענת בגר - ציירת ופסלת

"I was brought up in a farming village near the sea, daughter of a father potter, mother teacher.

clay and paint were always the natural parts of my life. After my army service,
I apprenticed with my father potter for some years until I went to Boston
where I worked and studied.

In 1992, I returned to Israel after a stay of three years in Boston. Since then, I have raised my three children (boys).

In 1995, I opened my studio in Moshav Dor where I paint, pot and teach.
Life in the village near the sea, the archeological digs on the nearby hill, my attraction to ethnic and totem art and also my work with children, especially my own children's creativity, all these are a wonderful inspiration for my art.
