Ariel Tidhar

Ariel Tidhar was born and raised in Chicago in an American-Israeli family. Tidhar graduated in May 2016 from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Fashion Design. During her time at Pratt, Ariel fell in love with textile, embellishment, and color. Her work has evolved to combine a sprinkle of Jewish humor as well as nostalgic references that honor her Israeli roots. She uses hand-craft as a way to lessen the divide between art and fashion. Her namesake line now includes modern Judaica pieces, home décor, and accessories all made by Ariel herself. After 13 years in Brooklyn, Ariel now lives in NY State with her husband and dog Kugel.
