Israeli-born artist Elisha Ben-Yitzhak, who moved to Milwaukee in 1985 and put his painting aside to focus on his business, Heavenly International Tours, recently started to paint again.

To mark his return to art, Ben-Yitzhak, whose work has been shown in Israel, across the U.S. and in five foreign countries, will display his paintings at Donnybrook Fair, 427 E. Silver Spring Dr., Whitefish Bay, from March 19 – May 20. Donnybrook Fair is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Born in Kibbutz Kfar Blum, Ben-Yitzhak studied art at Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem and at the Avni Art Institute in Tel Aviv.

The public is invited to a reception to meet the artist on Saturday, March 31, 4 – 8 p.m., at Donnybrook Fair.
