Hi everyone, I'm Rachelle.               My name is pronounced Raa-Shell Chip-Root

 

Where am I from?

I grew up in London, England, surrounded by my 5 beautiful sisters, English mother, Israeli father, and plenty of dogs.

 

At highschool, I spent all my spare time in the art department, listening to musicals and covered in paint!

 

Alongside my love for art was my love for Israel. As a dual national Israeli-Brit living in a completely non-jewish community, my connection to Israel was always strong, and a yearning to make Aliyah grew as I did.

​

My life changed course when my Aliyah dream became a reality, and I packed my bags and joined the IDF at 18 years old. Since then, I have completed two social sciences university degrees - but always, always had art on my mind. When a friend asked me to paint her Ketubah - I knew my life would never be the same again.

 

Where do I live now?

I currently live in sunny Tel Aviv with my husband Elan and our adopted pup Orlo, and work out of my awesome art studio on Allenby street. 

​

 

Painting Ketubahs and Judaica enables me to combine secular art and design with beautiful Jewish tradition. I am inspired by Israel, by it's versatile nature and vibrant culture, and enjoy incorporating this inspiration into my work. I hope that my artwork can bring colour and happiness into Jewish and interfaith homes everywhere.
