Dena Ackerman

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my online home!

I am a professional artist, illustrator, writer, and art instructor.

I grew up in sunny LA and now live in sunny Beit Shemesh, Israel, with my five kids.

I have illustrated over 40 books and created hundreds of custom paintings for private collectors, businesses, and magazines.

I also teaches online art courses and at a local art college.

My work is inspired by everyday scenes, familiar emotions, and the beauty that is all around us. I strive to creates scenes that are cozy and welcoming, at times humorous, and always compelling.

When I’m not painting or cleaning up after my kids, I enjoy drinking chamomile tea in bed on a rainy night with a good book and a purring cat.

• • • • Watercolor portrait paintings
      • Pencil portraits drawings
