Sali Ariel was born in 1947 in Fort Smith Arkansas, USA and was raised in Tulsa Oklahoma. She had a background of breeding, training, and showing horses, which has remained a life-long passion. In 1965 she won an art scholarship to Washington University, St. Louis. She has lived in Israel since 1972.  After years of living and working in Jerusalem, in 1993 she moved to Tel Aviv where she set up a professional studio. She showed her work in a series of exhibitions (which dealt mostly with women’s empowerment and identity issues). In 2001, struck by the transformation of Tel Aviv from a Mediterranean city of white buildings into a city of towers, she began work on a special project to capture and document this time of change.  The juxtaposition and blend of greenery, the ornate buildings of South Tel Aviv, the white, box-like Bauhaus buildings of Rothschild and North Tel Aviv, and the skyscrapers that are now rising high above the Tel Aviv streets define a special transition in the history of Israel’s metropolis by the sea. She is a member of the Israeli Association of Painters and Sculptors, Tel Aviv.
