Yael Neuwirth was born, raised and educated in Israel. Prior to her association with art, Neuwirth was involved in teaching and language editing. She began painting at a young age and  as a daughter of an art teacher, absorbed an atmosphere of art at home and  saw painting as an initial means of expression. Later in life she perceived the material arts as a mode of self expression dedicating herself primarily to painting.

She completed advanced art studies under various artists. Her first solo exhibition was in 1974 (Tel Aviv) which was followed by many more individual and group shows.

  Yael's paintings are a swirl of brush strokes in a stormy and mystical mélange of color. Her portfolios contain portraits, landscapes, cultural mythology and abstract expressionism.  Her works are found in private and public collections.
