ABOUT THE ARTIST:
From early childhood Ms. Vered's inherited talent and interest
in painting was
obvious. However, being also a child protégé in music,
her early practice in the
visual arts were more of self-education and exploration. As
an adult her passion
for painting kept growing. While juggling a career as an internationally
acclaimed concert pianist, Ms. Vered started devoting an increasing
amount of
time to the Scholastic training of painting. She started drawing
in New York at
the Spring Street Drawing Studio under master teacher and
painter Minerva
Durham. She studied at the Parsons School of Design, The New
York Academy
of Design, The New York Student Art League, as well as workshops
with B.
Baxter in Provence.
Eager to further her skills in her main interest, portrait painting,
Ms. Vered
attended the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, for
three years. It was
under the tutelage of Charles Cecil (himself, trained by R.
H. Ives Gammell and
Richard Frederick Lack), that Ms. Vered was exposed to the nearly
lost drawing
and painting techniques developed from the Renaissance through
the 19th
Century French academic tradition. With her newly acquired skills
and
knowledge, Ms. Vered went on to study at the École Des
Beaux-Arts in Paris.
Today Ms. Vered divides her time between Israel, at the Jerusalem
School of
renowned artist Israel Hershberg, Italy and the US.
Ms. Vered's paintings have been shown at the Ann Long Fine Arts
Gallery in
Charleston, South Carolina, for the opening of the Spoleto Festival.
Previously,
her works have been featured at the American Art Show and the
Guicciardini
Gallery in Florence, Italy, and the Spring Street Studio in
New York City. Ms,
Vered's paintings can be found in numerous private collections
including those
of Susan and Charles Wadsworth of New York, Marcella Pana of
Florence, Betsy
and Victor Gotbaum of New York, and Esther and James Ferguson
of
Charleston, South Carolina, and Aspen, Colorado, Michael TilsonThomas
of San
Francisco and Miami.
