Mary Ocher (''"Oh-chur"'', born November 10, 1986)〔 is a singer-songwriter, poet, director and visual artist.〔 She was born Mariya Ocheretianskaya (Russian: Мария Очеретянская, Hebrew:מאריה אוצ'רטיאנסקי) in Moscow,〔 an only child to a voice and puppet theater actor (of the Obraztsov theater) father and an unemployed engineer mother both of Jewish/Ukrainian descent. Her family immigrated to Israel in 1991, first to a kibbutz in Negev and several months later to Tel Aviv. While studying at a religious Jewish school in Israel, she was forced to change her name to Miriam for several years. In her teenage years, she studied film in an art high school in Tel-Aviv, which she then left at the beginning of the 12th grade. At the age of 18, she adopted Ocher as a last name. Ocher's grandmother, Julia, was married to prominent Russian historian/author Natan Eidelman, in the last years before his death. Alix, her dad was named after an SS officer who saved his father's life during WWII, her mother, Yelena took part in the mapping of the moon in the 1970's in Moscow. At age 14, Ocher had recorded her first song, produced by Idan Raichel, who later went on to become a successful mainstream world-music producer. Amusingly, out of the same film-class in high-school sprung members of the synthpop act ''Ne'arei Poster'' (Poster boys) and one-half of the hip-hop duo Cohen@Mushon. Ocher is married to German pinstriper and custom artist Tom Plate. == Ocher and outsider art == While sometimes miscategorized as an outsider artist, for being "too difficult to categorize", Ocher doesn't quite qualify as one, though being an advocate of self-taught methods and DIY culture (she's been invited to lecture on it at Hamburg's Operation Ton music convention and The Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg, organized vast tours around the globe without assistance from within the industry, made films and exhibitions and participated in dozens of events organized by collectives and individuals not supported by any official body), the work itself is quite rooted in popular culture and its counter-culture and lacks the naivety of the work defined as "outsider art". She's never been institutionalized, though sent like many teenagers to be examined after dramatically leaving school, the doctors advised to keep her coming for lack of other suggestions and/or diagnosis. She sternly refused. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mariya Ocher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
