This painting honors the Jewish Sabbath.  Both exalted and beloved, the Sabbath is called a “Queen” and a “Bride,” in Hebrew liturgy. Beneath the crown is the poem, The Sabbath Queen, by Israel's National Poem, Hayim Nachman Bialik. The images surrounding the text represent Sabbath laws and customs.

This piece uses Mary Oliver's Poppies and the passage, I shall not fear, for you are with me (Psalms 23) to express moving on after a loss. The poppy grows in a rocky valley.

Poetry and imagery represent spiritual journey. 

This painting is about the delight and vulnerability of new love. 

20"x20", Acrylic on muslin. This painting uses religious and secular texts to embody peace, wholeness and transcendence. 

Three poems by Leah Goldberg are reflections on aging. I mounted my calligraphy on tree bark to call to mind how tree rings mark the passage of time.
