Discussions of Ra'anan's works have appeared in ARTnews, World of Art, Israel Economist, Jerusalem Post International, and he has appeared on Israel Radio and Television. Ra'anan was born in New Jersey, graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art (University of the Arts) in 1975 and did independent study in Europe and Near East from 1976 - 1978. In 1978 Ra'anan settled on a moshav in Israel with his wife Mira where they are raising a family of four children.
Living and working in Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel,
allows me constantly to touch and breathe holiness while at
the same time to immerse myself in the intense, mundane and
thriving dynamics of an historic people emerging in the modern
world. These ancient hills and stones, with heaven so close
and the pulsating vibrancy of a people so connected to the
land, engender a rebirth of the miracles of life each day.
Ra'anan, 1999
