In Every Generation

For many years, Professor Yehudi Lindeman and Irene Angelico have conducted a special annual seder on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Commemmoration Day. They developed their own beautiful hagaddah, a guidebook to those who wish to recreate the ritual.  I was honored to be asked to create some few calligraphic touches for the book that was recently published by Vehicule Press in Montreal. This panel translates roughly to mean “In every generation one should look to oneself as though he or she had personally left Egypt.” The original painting is lettered in gouache over a watercolor wash....

Map of Ancient Judea and Samaria

Who knew that mapmaking was on my bucket list?  Judy Petsonk offered me the opportunity to create two elegant maps for her forthcoming novel  Queen of the Jews, and the experience was a wonderful one.  Now I understand why I find myself immediately pulled into hand-drawn and lettered maps.  It’s because I feel a kinship with the artist wielding the pen!

Yehuda HaLevi Poem

This poem by Yehuda HaLevi was commissioned by parents knowing it is their son’s favorite poem.  It was commissioned as a graduation gift.  I studied several printed versions of the poem, each laid out slightly differently, and then contacted professor Max Tiktin to help me go through the words line by line to parse the meaning and determine the best way for the words to be laid out on the page. This is papercut from one sheet and mounted over a watercolor background.
