“I was born an artist but trained to be an architect. During the past few years I have been painting the world around me with a new vision. The objects are no longer the medium of communication for me. It is color and light that like musical scores when placed and assembled with an artistic vision produces an enchanting visual symphony.”

“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”
The ketubah is a significant popular form of Jewish ceremonial art. Ketubot have been made in a wide range of designs, usually following the tastes and styles of the era and region in which they are made. Ketubot are often hung prominently in the home by the married couple as a daily reminder of their vows and responsibilities to each other.
