When she first arrived to Israel she brought with her from Vienna memories of prominent painters such as Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka along with the old master drawings in the Albertina Library.
Ticho is known for her beautiful landscape drawings of Jerusalem and its surroundings, the Judean Hills. She loved the stone terraces, the old houses and considered it to be the oldest landscape in the world. Ticho focused on nature and the stony surface of the naked mountains without any human traces aside few secluded houses. She was among the founders of the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem.
