1980. Art career Ticho had several solo exhibitions in Mandatory Palestine and in Europe from the 1920s through the 1940s. An even greater number of her individual exhibitions took place in the years following World War II. While the dramatically different light of the Middle East and the starkness of the landscape inhibited her artistic pursuits at first, in the 1930s Ticho went back to drawing and painting. It was then that she produced many of the distinctive drawings of the hills of Jerusalem and portraits of local people for which she became well known. Today, Ticho's drawings and watercolors can be found in major museums around the world. Awards and recognition In 1970, Ticho received the Yakir Yerushalayim (Worthy Citizen of Jerusalem) award. In 1975, Ticho was awarded the Willem Sandberg Prize for Israeli Art by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. In 1980, she was awarded the Israel Prize, for painting.
