LINKS:
The work displayed on this site asserts the direction that I have been moving
towards for the past several years, namely the use of diverse Jewish references
as the impetus and inspiration for my commentary on the human condition.
The references include biblical passages, prophetic writings, rabbinic
commentaries and modern theology - sources that teach the core moral and
humanistic values of Jewish tradition and ethos. These values encompass
the fundamental desire for personal, spiritual and global peace, equality, and
social justice.
Universal messages of good and evil, questions of integrity, ethical dilemmas,
parables on mortality and the quest for spiritual connection link the lessons
of my heritage to contemporary concerns.
They are also the catalyst for an expression that reflects my world. Married to a
rabbinical student serving a congregation, I am surrounded by modern Jewish life
and thought.
In these new paintings, the initial themes often evolve into subtexts containing
childhood recollections, free-association, historical and social/political
references. Using thematic and vibrant color with expressive line, I have worked
toward developing an allegorical and poetic language.
My approach is multi-layered and intuitive, moving between the particular
characteristics of the subject and my interpretation. The paintings are infused
with personal iconography and motifs and build towards an emotional crescendo
through an intimate interaction with the work.
