Traditional Jewish motifs appear in all her works and it always touches and hints at the holy city of Jerusalem, and at Israel-her country of birth. Her research and interest in the ancient scrolls of Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews and the scrolls of the Dead Sea are the subject of many of her creations. Orna’s artistic developments started at a young age. She was born in Haifa, Israel to artistic parents; her mother created beautiful drawings and sketches, and her father, in his spare time, sculpted with hard materials, including bronze and other various metals.
