About the Artist

Alexander & Wissotsky's still life paintings incorporate references to the calligraphy of old English flower painting manuals, and Splendid collage details inspired Paris in the Twenties. Their art is drenched with nostalgia, romanticism, and a love of life.

Tanya Wissotsky and Alexander Galtchansky were born in the same year, 1959, in Crimea (U.S.S.R.). Their careers began in art school. Alexander studied in Dnepropetrovsk and Wissotzky in Simferopol. They continued their studies at the Kiev institute of the Arts - Wissotsky as a painter and Alexander as a book illustrator. After getting married, they emigrated to Israel. Having found themselves in a drastically different situation and place, they united their creative activities and began working together.

The work of Alexander & Wissotsky has received critical acclaim and praise in both Israel and around the world and is featured in public and private collections worlwide. Some of their exhibitions include: Art Expo, New York, BLD New York, Galaxy Gallery in Gotenburg, Sweden, Geissing Design Institution in Hamburg, Germany, and even a permanent exhibition at the Binyanei Hauma in Jerusalem.

Conservation Lands Foundation

I'm on the Board of the National Conservation Lands Foundation because it was started by my father, one of the great leaders of the American environmental protection movement. I support all my dad's fantastic work in conservation.

Many people don't know it but a lot of our greatest natural and scenic treasures are not protected within the National Park System. Millions of acres of our most treasured publicly owned lands are managed under a different system, the National Landscape Conservation System. The NCLF is the only organization in the country dedicated solely to conserving these 28 million acres These lands are composed of National Conservation Areas, National Monuments, Wilderness Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and National Scenic and Historic Trails. The National Conservation Lands consist of the last places where you can experience the history of the American West. From the rivers which Lewis and Clark explored, to pioneer trails, to Native American sites, the heritage and beauty of these places are safeguarded for all of us to see.

Unfortunately, these lands are increasingly threatened by vandalism, looting, oil and gas drilling and irresponsible recreation. The Conservation Lands Foundation is working to protect, restore and expand the National Conservation Lands by:

Providing grants and trainings to local Partner groups throughout the nation who are working to safeguard the National Conservation Lands;
Working with Congress and the Bureau of Land Management to help shape the future of the National Conservation Lands; and
Promoting greater public awareness of, and appreciation for, the National Conservation Lands and the irreplaceable human and natural history contain therein.

This is a great effort and a great organization made up of mostly local heroes...people who give their time and energy to protect the special places in their own local communities.
