I started my art career 8 years ago, out of necessity and without any prior education or experience. The career took off mostly in form of mural work - because it's something you cannot really outsource overseas or elsewhere. One projects led to the other, every gig taught me something new about myself, who I want to be when I grow up and what I want to do. Along the way, I started tackling portraits, first in a very small format, on Post It notes, and then bigger, until I did a 250'x18' mural last year, depicting 55 portraits from the community. That project taught me how much I love painting people, how exciting it is to discover the beauty in everybody. That project left me with many many people who wanted to be included on that wall, but I ran out of space. I continue painting them on different mediums. When I saw this call, I decided to expand my project to include refugees from all walks of life. Show their beauty, their humanity, their resemblance to all other humans. We're all the same. And we're all beautiful. We all have a story to tell, some better story, some worse. We are all humans. — Anat Ronen
