Hilda Merom, ceramic artist from Israel,  was born in Argentina and immigrated to Israel in 1971. She has chosen to live in the Galilee, which is the northern part of Israel, a mountainous region with a mixed population of Arabs, Druze and Jews. Picturesque villages, Kibbutzim and community settlements nestle among the hills.
Hilda lived in Kfar Vradim, a community village with a breathtaking view. One can simultaneously observe the snow-capped Hermon Mountain in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
