Elyse has been painting Ketubot for 15 years. They started out as gifts and she turned it into a business after she started her family.  Having studied at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem as well as at Parsons School of Design in New York City, Elyse worked as an Exhibit and Graphic Designer for the Central Park Zoo in New York City, before starting painting Ketubot full time. She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and 3 children.
