Pnina Granirer (born April 11, 1935 in Brăila, Romania) is a Romanian-born Canadian painter and writer.

Life

In 1944, as a child, Granirer witnessed the transport ready to take her and other Romanian Jews to the extermination camps. Her life was saved when the Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive saw the Red Army drove out Nazi German forces. After World War II, Granirer's family were "sold" to Israel by the Romanian government.[1] She emigrated to Israel, where she attended the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. After completing her degree, she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1965.[2]

Career

Her works have been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally.[2][3] Granirer founded the Artists in Our Midst, the first art walk in Vancouver, in 1993.[4][5] Her book, Light within the Shadows; A Painter's Memoir, was published in May 2017.[6][7]
