The artist shares; creating art provides me with the opportunity to explore, test and express my; connection, commitment, frustration, as well as love of Judaism. By opening doors, researching texts, testing materials –and pushing boundaries I search for new opportunities to make Judaism more relevant to today’s life. I see my art as a vehicle for: promoting dialogue, a catalyst for provoking people into re-evaluating their preconceptions, a medium for breaking down stereotypes and an opportunity for people of all walks of life to connect with their religion, culture, and history.
