Welcome,
I’m Shira Aharony
I’m an artist, art therapist, and creative workshop facilitator.
Through color, material, and imagination, I open a doorway into a space that invites you to pause, create, and reconnect with yourself — using the rich language of art in all its forms, materials, and tools.

My Art
In recent years, I have been working primarily with collage and embroidery. I am interested in using unconventional materials, both as surfaces and as elements that can be brought together, as well as in creating connections between texts and incorporating them into my work. Working with embroidery or collage allows me to explore these ideas in a layered way, giving space to texture and to the different layers within each piece.

Testimonials
We came to Shira as experienced parents who thought they knew everything, with a very successful child who refused to fit into molds. Through age and cognition-appropriate art, creation, games, and stories, Shira was very attentive and immediately identified all strengths, giving him and us tools to cope and see things correctly. The experience was very positive and is remembered fondly to this day and beyond - it created a change in all our behavioral patterns, all done with grace and intelligence.
Shira conducted several training sessions on art therapy for kindergarten teachers. The sessions were diverse and included various techniques and up-to-date knowledge. She was attentive to the trainees' needs, answered questions professionally, and managed to captivate them. Positive feedback for the training came quickly; the teachers said they were happy to return to their kindergartens and implement what they learned.
With thanks:

For us as parents, the best indication of successful therapy and connection is that we feel comfortable returning for consultation even years after the therapy itself ended, knowing that Shira knows our child in a very special way. Even during the years of therapy, it was experienced as something very normative and simple. The message that was conveyed to the child and has stayed with her since is that when help is needed, there's a good and helpful address to turn to.
After many attempts at talk therapy that ended in blow-ups, we came to you and discovered things could be different, and sometimes even better. Thank you for your resourcefulness and creativity, thank you for not giving up even when it wasn't easy or pleasant, and for proving to us that patience pays off.
