This website features the extraordinary art of Chana Zelig. Chana visually interweaves symbols and stories from family lives and cultural histories with religious themes, traditional tales, images and texts. Her luminescent paintings are rich, multi-layered, deeply researched visual Torah commentaries with multi-cultural influences, destined to become family heirlooms. For her private commissions, Chana works closely with her clients through a cooperative interviewing process. Each piece, no matter what the medium, contains significant details from the commissioning family's history. This deep personal communication extends to her public art commissions, which include painting, fiber and stained glass windows that strike universal themes and are a tribute to their cultural context.
