Carry Schmidt was born in Koblenz, Germany in 1912. She studied academic painting with the artist A. Zogbaum during her adolescent years. She was rejected from attending the Academy of Art because of the upraising anti-semitism in Germany. She graduated from the Jewish teachers seminary in Cologne. She left Germany in 1936 and imigrated to Israel, to Kibbutz Ashdot-Yaakov. For 20 years Carry created backdrops, stage sets and costumes for the Yona vang high school for drama, and made all costumes for performances of clasic ballet studios of Rachel Aabib and prof. Miriam ludwig in Nahariya.

Since the sixties, she has seriously pursued her further education in fine arts, especially in watercolour, under the guidance of Jehoushua Hass, Haim Naor and Ori Reisman. Watercolour became her prefered art. It reflects her observant and sensitive personality.

Carry lives in Kfar Vradim since 1986, she still creates and teaches, art giving her the strengh an vitality at her advanced age.

 This retrospective exhibition is a tribute to her work and personality, showing her mastering of the aquarelle technique.                       Pictures from the exhibition:
