JESSICA SHARON

YuvalChen-9189 copy.jpg

Jessica Sharon was born in Buenos Aires in 1981 and grew up in a culturally diverse environment with Syrian-Lebanese and Italian roots. She received a secular and open education, emphasizing free thinking and personal initiative.

From a young age, she was involved in educational and social projects, and at 17, she participated in establishing Argentina’s first Holocaust museum. After immigrating to Israel in 2002, she continued her artistic and educational activities at the Holocaust Museum in Israel.

Jessica began her academic studies in the Department of Political Science at the University of Buenos Aires and later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. As a multidisciplinary artist, she engages in painting, sculpture, performance, and cultural entrepreneurship. In addition, she studied acting and stand-up comedy—fields in which she continues to perform and create.

During her time in Israel, she was actively involved for nearly a decade in peace movements and human rights advocacy, combining artistic expression with social activism.

In 2015, she founded Your Art Your Way, a creative studio and art learning space operating in multiple locations across Israel, providing a platform for artistic expression for children, teenagers, and adults.

In recent years, Jessica has been writing personal, social, and political texts—some of which are published in the press, while others are independently distributed.

Today, she lives and creates in Buenos Aires, Argentina, working simultaneously in Israel and South America in the fields of art, education, and social activism.
