Cover Art - "Jerusalem Hills"

Cover artist - Maureen Fain

Maureen Fain (nee Konigsfest) was born in Durban, and has lived in Jerusalem since 1969. She has a BA in Art History from the Hebrew University and has been a professional artist for forty years –so far. Her preferred medium is watercolour, which she has taught at the Israel Museum since 1990, but she is also at home in most media. She had a special solo exhibition of watercolor nudes at the Israel Museum, and has exhibited widely both internationally and locally. Her works are in private collections worldwide, as well as the Israel Museum and The Brauer Museum in Indiana, USA. Maureen’s main interest is portraiture, as it involves deep conversations with the sitters, resulting in very insightful paintings. She considers her artistic talent as a gift, as it has coloured her life in a truly special way.
