Elisha Ben Yitzhak was born in pre-State Israel in 1943 and began to paint after his army service. He studied at the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem and at the Avni Art Institute in Tel Aviv. He continued painting while he worked for the Israeli Ministry of Tourism and served as the education emissary to Zimbabwe and South Africa. After a stint as the cultural emissary to the Midwest region of the United States, Ben Yitzhak moved to Milwaukee and stopped painting, taking it up again only in 2006. Since that time he has worked as a serious artist and been an active founding member of the International Biennale Artists, an organization that brings artists together to create group exhibitions worldwide. | Elisha Ben Yitzhak was born in pre-State Israel in 1943 and began to paint after his army service.
