    Born in Rishon Lezion, southeast of Tel Aviv, Israel, Ora Abrahami came from a family of five. Her father was a furniture dealer and her mother raised the three girls. Ora studied in the elementary school in Rishon LeZion, the first school in which Hebrew was the language of instruction.
    Ora has been painting and drawing since her early childhood but her first formal education in art was a course in painting, instructed by the painter Sioma Baram, leading to her being selected to participate in a 1946 exhibition in the Dizingoff House in Tel Aviv titled "Painting Children." She then continued to the Lewinsky teachers seminary in Tel Aviv, graduating in 1953.
    In 1954 she served in the Israeli army and shortly after married Uzi Abrahami, a third-generation native of Rishon LeZion and a long-standing farmer.
    During her training years as a teacher she continued to paint, taking courses instructed by the painter Yosef Kossonogy in Rishon LeZion, as well as Abba Fenichel.
    Between the years 1962- 1967 she took classes with the painter Alexander and in 1967 studied woodcuts and engraving with Tuvia Be'eri, as part of the Artists' Association. Ora then began exhibiting her work to the public, first participating in local group exhibitions and in 1967 with her first solo exhibition in Bet Sokolov in Tel Aviv.
    This first solo exhibition can be classified as her personal creed: "The beauty hidden in various corners of a scenery and of the human being, his soul and experiences; all gave birth to this exhibition".
    In this sentence Ora Abrahami managed to define herself as an artist and as a person.
    Following came a series of solo exhibitions, additional group exhibitions and various prizes.
    All recognized Ora Abrahami's superb skills using oil colors and mixed media as well as emphasized the personal tension between her design abilities and her picturesque visions. The artistic values pervading Ora Abrahami's work support and enrich the subject matter ranging from amorphous landscapes and biblical concepts to the rebirth of a Jewish city and nation.
    Her subject matters allow her to show her own personal unique style.
    At the same time her works possess timeless universal qualities of birth, death, nature and religion, inspiring a mystical atmosphere, encompassing all, and crossing the borders between
    peoples and nations.
