Born in Israel, Yael Segev has studied painting,
 drawing, and sculpture since 1965 in the United
 States, Canada, and Israel, under renowned teachers, 
such as: Halavani, Drake, Hipps, Barattuci, Sawyer, 
Heins, and Zandalowitch.Since 1978 her exhibitions 
took place in the United States, Canada, and Israel - 
in Dallas, Los-Angels, Claremont, Vancouver, New York, 
Tel-Aviv, Jaffa, Hertzelia, Kibbutz Ga`ash, 
Petah-Tikva, and Kfar-Tabor.Yael's basic approach 
to sculpture is cubist, but the shapes and lines 
embodied in the sculpture become soft and gentle, 
completing the geometric construction and granting 
it human dimension ("Thinker", "Triangle head").
Her style incorporates elements, both ealistic and 
abstract, which reflect the intimate relationship 
between the artist and her subjects: Soft, rounded, 
naked woman ("Odalisque", "Sunflower Lady"). 
Her portrayals are diverse interpretation: alongside 
sculpture of clean simplicity are works of intense 
complexity.Yael's works in various materials. 
She holds a unique view of the human body: the body 
and the soul are entwined. The body is medium through 
which the intricacies of the soul are revealed.
