Olga Yerushalmy was born in 1978 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and has lived in Israel since 1993. She currently lives and works in Israel. Yerushalmy studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design between 1998 and 2003, following earlier studies at the Gan Nahum Art School in Rishon LeZion.

In 2024, she took part in an artist residency in Poland. In 2026, she is participating in the Freshpaint Art Fair as part of the project "Dialogue", curated by Ella Cohen, in collaboration with artist Olga Khiroshalmi.

Taly Eichenwald-Dvir is an Israeli ceramic artist whose work explores memory, materiality, and the human need for beauty and hope. Following a distinguished academic and consulting career, including postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, she returned to a lifelong passion for art and devoted herself to the study of ceramic sculpture. She trained with leading ceramic artists and established her own studio practice. A central body of her work is the Delicia Collection, a series of hand-sculpted ceramic sweets forms that transform familiar symbols of sweetness into contemporary sculptural objects. Created during a period of profound social uncertainty, the collection reflects a search for joy, optimism, and human connection. Through vibrant colors, playful forms, and meticulous craftsmanship, Delicia reimagines sweets and candies as a metaphor for memory, resilience and joy.The collection was born from a belief that joy is not only something we find, but something we create. Her sculptural and functional ceramic works combine traditional ceramic techniques with a contemporary artistic language, inviting viewers to engage with moments of wonder, nostalgia, and delight. Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions and featured in art and design publications.
