Dickinson College Program

Professor Ted Merwin welcomes me to his class on March 18, 2011, to present a lecture/recital on the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, nearly 102 years to the day since the tragedy.  We will explore the conditions that led to the fire, the spectacular women who agitated for change before and following the fire, and the place of  worker safety issues in our lives today. Over twenty Yiddish songs will ring out!

Flora of Israel and the Pacific Northwest

Flora of Israel and the Pacific Northwest

This couple took advantage of the wonders of scanning and Skype to provide input about every detail of their ketubah:  favorite Pacific wildflowers, specific trees to flank the text, the design of pomegranates topping the ketubah with foliage tying into the rest of the border… It’s a great way to design, when I can sit with a sketchbook and hold images up in real time across the miles! The most delicate flowers in the border pop forward as the almost misty settings of the two trees sit back while holding the space in an aesthetic whole.  Beyond the Western Red Cedar is a hint of the Olympia Mountain Range, while moving back from the Cypress are suggestions of ancient Israeli homes and the colorful mountains of the...

Goucher College Needlework workshop

Monday night, November 5, 2012 I plan to take a break from canvassing and visit the Goucher College Hillel in Baltimore to present a workshop which will kick off a flurry of needlework activities!  The college has two Torah scrolls, one of which is a rescued Torah from Czechoslovakia.  Over the coming months I hope to craft mantles for the Torahs, and the program on the 5th will be a hands on workshop to begin developing design ideas and color palettes with the students, and also to offer the students the opportunity to collectively craft a wimple (Torah binder) which will become a lasting part of the ritual life of the campus Hillel.  Check back on the website from time to time to see what the students and I come up...

Art Nouveau Ketubah with a Nod to Fibonacci

How wonderful to find myself learning as I stir paint!  The couple who commissioned this ketubah knew from the outset that their love of Art Nouveau would help shape the design, and this process moved through many iterations to arrive at what you see here.  What looks like a pixillated pair of designs towards the top corners are representations of the Fibonacci sequence.  A fanciful strand of DNA anchors the lower center.  A glimpse of the night sky at the time and place of the wedding arcs over the text, and a color scheme chosen with paint chips became the palette.  Astronomy, mathematics, genetics, Russian and Belgian art history, color mixing science…  What a...
