Due to my husband's job we lived four years in Japan where I studied the art of Katazome and joined a local artists association "Taiyo Bijetsu". I participated with this group annual shows at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum.
I have a collection of handmade Japanese paper which I use for my unique collages and miniature collage.

Nira Schwartz
I was born in Israel and studied art at Haifa University. After my graduation I lived with my family four years in Japan where I studied the art of Katazome - Kimono dye.
In Japan I collected hand made paper which later on I used for my miniature collages.
For the last 15 years I concentrate on miniature collages, with main subject matter of flowers. I find great similarity between the paper I use and flowers, both are so fine and delicate and yet so strong.
I am a member of The Israeli Painters and Sculptors Association
The Miniature Art Society of Florida - MASF
The miniature sculptors, painters and gravers society of Washington - MSPGS
The Hilliears society - England, HR
