Greenman Studio is the creative space of painter, illustrator, and toy designer Orianne Shavit. Here Both of them are very active in many fields of creation.
Greenman Studio is located in the north of Israel where Orianne lives with her family. She and her partner Amir started out in graphic design and illustration and for eight years (2002 -2010) designed and made costumes, props, and stage set-ups for a very unique theater group called "Balbalu Street Theater Company". Amir also does carpentry, some blacksmithing, building, and lately organic farming
. Orianne is a painter/illustrator who taught her self to sew, make pottery, write and just can't seem to hold still. They both work at home, homeschooling their three children and they feel thankful for being able to work together in every field of life. Orianne's shop on Etsy - GreenManShop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/GreenManShop) is an outlet for her passion for designing toys, dolls, accessories and much more for children and for adults who appreciate handmade art. The mysterious figure of the Greenman symbolizes the forces and natural ways of creation. The Greenman dies every winter and is resurrected again every spring, just as creation itself its ever changing, flowering and withering and constantly flowing.
