She has received numerous awards, honors and prizes for her works, including first place recognitions by her peers. Of particular importance is her masterful painting that celebrates Israel: "If You Will - It Is Not A Dream." The 'fit to be a stamp' painting is the product of her deep relationship with Israel and her Jewish roots which are vividly expressed in this masterpiece painting.

The painting was chosen by the "Sponsor a Child Program" charity, to which Nava created and a donated a 'special edition' titled "Women Who Care." Some of her latest oil on canvas creations, "The Spring Girl" and "The Lady in the Garden", triumph again. Attesting to her renowned unique style, they were chosen to be on the cover of specialty journals.
