The Art of Rifkah Goldberg

 
Rifkah (Rita) Goldberg, born in London,  England,  in 1950,  came to live in Jerusalem in 1975.  A member of the Israel Association of Visual Arts, she has been painting for over 35 years. She studied painting in Cambridge and Jerusalem (with Eli Niago,  Michael Kovner at the Bezalel Academy of Design and Art, and the Russian artist Simion Rozenshtein, who now lives in Jerusalem).

A Ph.D. biochemist (CambridgeUniversity), she also works as an academic writer and editor.  Rifkah Goldberg's other major field of creative interest is poetry. Her poems have been published in Israel, the United States and England.

Rifkah Goldberg's paintings focus on unusual aspects of Jerusalem. They provide a personal record of the history of the city as she lives through it - neighbourhoods,   people and their everyday lives inside and outside their homes.  Her work is basically figurative and painted on location.
