"I was born in 1954, in the small town of Bjelovar in Croatia. My parents lived through WW2 and have lost many family members in Holocaust. Jewish myths, legends, and traditions are the main theme of my art, by which I am trying to revive the world lost in the Holocaust. By painting, I am keeping closer my family and my children who live in the USA and Israel. Alongside painting, I am enjoying in children's literature by writing and illustrating stories and fairy tales. Since 1991. I had over a hundred exhibitions in Croatia and worldwide, and my works decorate many homes in Croatia and abroad. Many of my works found a new home in museums and galleries as a part of their collections, and I am very proud the Yad Vashem Museum is one of them. I am still living and painting in my small town of Bjelovar." Contact information is: melitakraus@gmail.com
