About Me

Weaving and Painting

The terrorist attacks of October 7th, 2023 made me realize that I have to join the movement of artists who address issues related to their ethnic, religious or racial identity in their work. I have refocused my practice on expressing Jewish ideas. I visualize ideas drawn from Jewish religious texts, often their intersection with the landscape around me but also from imagination. My work is abstract and therefore the religious inspiration is not immediately recognized by the viewer. My work deals with God, humanity, fear and wonder that can also be universal. I have been heartened by how people of many faiths respond positively to my new work.

 I have always been a weaver. I organize what I see by creating woven, interlaced, embroidered and layered canvases, using tools from a lifetime of fiber and textile design experience while abandoning the rules of the trade. I paint to announce the texture, enhance the color, and create mystery. Apart from the stretcher bars that are my frame loom, I use all reclaimed materials in my work, not only for environmental reasons, but to exploit the breadth of resources we discard. 

In every piece I ask myself a new question about my process and try something that I have never done before.

Please contact me to discuss my work. I am happy answer any questions.
