About the Artist: Born in Boston, MA in 1952, Nira Chorev was raised and received her general studies and arts education both in United States and Israel. From 1972-1974 she attended and graduated from the Art Teachers College in Israel, receiving a BA degree, and from 1974-1978 she attended the School of the Museum of Fine Art (SMFA), in Boston, MA receiving multiple degrees -Diploma (BFA) and Fifth-Year Post-Graduate certificate. While in the Fifth-Year Post-Graduate studies program she was an assistant to both printing and drawing classes and won a traveling scholarship which she used to revive her photographic work and merge it with the work she was doing in silk screen printing class. Her early work on large canvases was in acrylic, looking at landscapes from a bird�s-eye view, seeing the contrasting forms in color, and focusing on the positive and negative shapes in space. After several decades in Israel, she returned to the United States in 2008 to attend the Continuing Education Program and Workshops at the School of the Museum of Fine Art (SMFA). Currently she is living in the Boston area and working in mixed media, using photos to capture moments as memories that trigger the landscapes that are created from them. The works express the continuous connections between the artist and nature; the positive and negative shapes in space; and the reminder of how things were. In Europe her artwork has been exhibited at The Royal School of Art in London, the Esrat Gallery in Barcelona, the Madrid Exhibition Center, Spain, and the Glicksman Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland. Public and Gallery Exhibitions of her artwork in the United States include Emerging � Boston City Hall Gallery, Boston, MA; Mayim Hayyim Gallery, Newton, MA � In Memory of Yitzhak Rabin; NAVE Gallery, Somerville, MA; Art Takes Times Square, NYC; the Kennedy Center, Washington, DC; Art Expo, USA, NY; Boston�s Resnikoff Gallery and the SMFA Grossman Gallery; The Studio Gallery, Irvine, CA.; Post Office Gallery, Inc., North Truro, MA.

- "Fort William 31 miles long and 1.2 miles wide, Loch Linnhe is situated on the banks of Fort William and also stretches past it. Its breath taking scenery and blazing sunsets make it the ideal location for photographers and Artist: s alike. It also boasts many opportunities to document the diversity in wild life, such as many seals that inhabit these tranquil waters. There are also porpoises, dolphins, and an abundance of sea birds. If you look up into its crystal clear blue sky you might just spot the odd Golden Eagle souring high above you. Fort William is also situated at the foot of the mountain Ben Nevis and this is what inspired me to create this majestic scene in all its surrounding glory."~ Maria Bertolone Art is my passion and always will be, ever since an early age I was always drawing and painting, winning many school competitions for the best painting. To this day, I have no idea how many drawing books and rubbers, pencils etc. I managed to go through. I work mainly from my vast collection of personal photos I have taken over the many years, when I have been on vacation. I always have my camera at hand as it is my friend, and if I come across a certain scene or area of interest, I like, I take a photo. Then when I am at home, in my studio, I start working on it. I will always paint and produce art for as long as I possibly can. ~ Maria Bertolone This magnificent and serene oil painting will accentuate any room in your house, especially the bedroom.
