Biography

Helen Berman was born in Amsterdam and as a young girl survived The Holocaust.[2][3][4][5] She was trained as a textile designer at the Design Academy Eindhoven.[6] While at the academy, she took extracurricular coursework in the free arts with Kees Bol and Jan Gregoor.[1] After her graduation in 1960, Helen Berman designed textiles for several companies. Some of her designs were awarded prizes and publications in professional magazines.

During the seventies, Berman studied painting and drawing with Thierry Veltman,[7] graduating with a teaching degree. In 1978, she immigrated to Israel, where she continued to refine her style. During a decade-long residence in Jaffa, she became part of the local artists' community and a member of the Israel Painters and Sculptors Association. Since 1998, she has been painting and exhibiting from her studio in Tel Mond.
