Holiday: Eight Lights for Eight Nights Eight Lights for Eight Nights
An Original Watercolor Collage

The candles represent any group of individuals, families, peoples or nations united in Peace.

Perhaps the candles might even represent people wearing brightly colored robes walking through the desert.

An interesting 3 dimensional effect is created with this very unique, contemporary interpretation of the traditional eight-branched Chanukah menorah, also known as a Chanukiah. The ninth candle, or shamash, is used to light the other candles--one for each night of Chanukah.

Spacers are placed behind all collage pieces, which, under bright light creates interesting shadows on the textured, watercolor paper background. It may appear as if the candles are actually flickering. All collage pieces are individually hand-painted, cut and arranged by the Artist.
To Life! with Mosaic Within days of returning from Israel in January 2001, I created this collage to express my hope of peace and continuity for Jerusalem and Israel. It has over 150 individual watercolor-painted pieces. The foreground depicts a luxurious mosaic floor tile from Masada. The top is Jerusalem, and includes the Western Wall and Dome of the Rock. The dove has Shalom--peace--in its wings. Chai is inscribed over an entrance to the Old City; and the upper reach of the palm is the letter Shin. Three small, golden, six-pointed stars evoke the memory of King David who made Jerusalem our temporal and spiritual home. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
Eli Eli Sheet music with English and Hebrew words, combines with my watercolor painting and watercolor cutouts illustrating song images. Uplifting words by H. Senesh: Pray that these things never end: The sand and the sea, the rush of the waters, the crash of the heavens, the prayer of the heart. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
Tikkun Sonoma Tikkun Olam, developed by 17th century Jewish mystics, is a teaching which means to repair the world, primarily through social justice and environmental action. This watercolor painting is a symbol of healing: for individuals, for society and the environment. Although the woman in this painting is meant to be Every Woman, she also represents my artist's life and me. My heart is in all that I do, and all that I create. I observe beauty, reflect upon that beauty, and then I create art that heals. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
Schecheyanu Presents the blessing which gives thanks to God for bringing us to this season. English words in calligraphy read: Praised are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, for granting us life, for sustaining us, and for helping us to reach this day. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
Shma Yisrael Carnation flowers and handmade bark paper adorn the watercolor letters of the Sh'ma. This prayer, referred to as The Watchword of Our Faith expresses the Jewish belief in one God. Original mixed media collage.
Camellia Star of David Camellia Star of David shows a camellia inside the star (with chai--to life!-- in lavender in upper right of flower) and the letter shin in each leaf.
