Working with stone, wood and bronze, she created portraits and memorials commemorating the people and events of the early years of the State of Israel.Her many busts portray cultural and political figures as well as members of her family while her monumental memorials are dedicated to those who were killed in the War of Independence.She then spent a period at the Rome Academy of Fine Arts but returned to Palestine in 1921, settling at the Ein Harod kibbutz and exhibiting her early wood sculptures.[4] Among the hundreds of busts she created of historic Israeli figures are those of prime ministers David Ben-Gurion, Menahem Begin and Golda Meir.Depicting heroism and comradeship, the series of three can be found at Kfar Yehoshua, Beit Keshet and Kadoorie Agricultural Village.
