Lera Yestrel • event illustrator• Israel an artist, illustrator, and the person behind creative workshops that have been bringing people together since 2022.
It all started in Ramat Gan, in her little home studio simply for fun. A place where people could come, leave their everyday worries at the door, pick up a brush, have a glass of wine, and spend a few hours creating together.
What began as intimate gatherings at home eventually grew into Lera’s own studio in Tel Aviv.
But life has its own way of changing plans. With everything happening in the country and the war, Lera had to close the studio and find a new home for her workshops. For a while, they continued at a local bar in Tel Aviv same creative spirit, just a different setting.
At the beginning of this year, another chapter began: Lera moved to Haifa.
Today, she hosts her workshops in collaboration with Eva Wine EVA , bringing together two things that have always been at the heart of this project art and a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere.
Most workshops are dedicated to acrylic painting on canvas and watercolor, but Lera’s artistic world goes far beyond that. With a background in art and design, she is also a fashion illustrator and a live event illustrator, creating quick, expressive portraits and illustrations for guests at events.
Different cities, different spaces, different chapters but the idea has stayed the same since day one:
to create a place where people can slow down, connect, try something new, and enjoy making art together
