Elisha Ben-Yitzhak - Artist - Viewer Impressions
"I have not been able to stop thinking about your talent or your unique connection with the world that is exhibited through your narrative style of painting. Your art has a balance of color, composition and lyricism that is unique to you alone. You see things in a balance that is gentle and complete. While many pieces speak to things specific to your life, the whole of your work has a rhythm that is both personal and universal. It reaches out with a solo voice that pulls us all together. I hope that every day you consider the new way to reach out to those of us who may not be able to connect the things that you do - through the stories that you weave through your artwork. Please continue to explore and push so that we might see where it leads you." - Chris

I was researching an artist for school, and had trouble finding an artist whose focus was conveying emotions in portraits, then I read about you in the small business times, and your "emotions" show.
