Israela Hargil was born in Poland and immigrated to Israel in 1948.
She lived and studied on Kibbutz Ramat Johanan for ten years.
After her military service and the birth of their eldest daughter, the family moved to the States where Israela studied art at the Academy for Fine Arts in Chicago.
Upon their return to Israel, two younger daughters were born. Today, they have four grandsons and one granddaughter. They live in Ramat Gan, their home for many years.
Over the years, Israela has studied various fields of art in:
London: The Camden Art Center
Los Angeles: UCLA University
Tel Aviv: Artists House Workshops
New York: Art Students League
Israela works in her studio in Kfar Azar and frequently exhibits her work in solo and group exhibitions.
