She said she appreciates the “conversation and energy” between artists and patrons at art festivals, and after so many months away, it will be good to enjoy them once again. Born in Beit Oved, a moshav located in central Israel, Livne was raised by hardworking parents who “helped build the country,” she said. Their example, as well as her academic pursuits, helped shape her identity as an artistic. After completing her army service, Livne studied architecture before earning additional degrees in fine art and literature. Those disciplines coalesce in her colorful paintings, which have a philosophical bent. The pieces created by Livne, a self-described “storyteller,” contain rich images — her subjects include Shabbat candlesticks, Jerusalem cityscapes, classical musical instruments and Hebrew letters. Occasionally, she tucks away full sentences of Hebrew text inside the work. Whether it’s a passage from the Torah, Kabbalah, Maimonides or Yehudah Halevi, the words are part of each painting’s message. “My creation is my language,” she said. “Smadar and her work express pure emotion,” said Elizabeth Dashiell, a publicist with Howard Alan Events, a Florida-based producer of juried art and craft shows. “Everyone who sees it gets a different feeling.” Dashiell has known Livne for years and witnessed the strong connections passersby form with the artist and her paintings. “When people come to our shows, there’s not one person who isn’t moved by something they see,” said Dashiell, adding that Livne’s work extends beyond art. “You are seeing someone’s internal thoughts, feeling, emotions — the full range of human experience has been poured into that work,” she said. Livne said that after nearly 30 years of weekend shows, being grounded by the pandemic has been difficult. “I love to travel,” she said. “With art shows, I travel and meet new people…COVID was shocking. A year-and-a-half ago all of my art shows were canceled.” The pandemic required Livne, a full-time artist, to pivot. She began reaching out to clients through email and renewing connections online. The efforts proved successful: Not only was she able to sell her work, but she also gained perspective; after decades of packing up and traveling to shows in different cities each weekend, she realized she needed to slow down. “I feel like I want to take time for myself,” she said. Her three daughters are spread out across the United States, and she has a grandson in Florida. The desire to spend more time with family is guiding her travels now, she said. But despite reducing her appearances at future events, Livne is still creating new work and building lasting relationships.
