Welcome to my Gallery
Throughout my professional career I have had the ability to revitalize and continually generate new diverse palettes. “Creative Abundance” is what artist Lesley Riley, a virtual, internet-colleague calls a special strength—”more ideas than time and more projects than space”. 

“I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.” Vincent van Gogh

My Diverse Palette

My  philosophy is, art is a conversation.
These pieces have a voice. Let them speak to you.
​
"You use a mirror to see your face, 
you use art to see your soul."
​George Bernard Shaw

Pandemic Art-iculated

Covid19  2020 quarantine had a profound effect on me as I found myself harnessing a new strand of creativity.

Digital Expressions

In 1980  another creative facet opened up  for me when I added computer generated (digital) art
to my tool box . It allows me  to continue developing my art combining  the 
​newest technologies  with  traditional materials.

Holocaust Responses

Through these pieces  I tried to make sense of the senseless; the WW II period of history
called, the Holocaust.  My bond to this unprescedented  period of the 20th Century is expressed
through the Hebraic concept "tikkun 
olam" ( to make the  world a better place). 
Contemporary digital tools have allowed me to interpret and more deeply explore
my responses to this historical phenomena.

My Jewish Lens

Through the art in this portfolio the Jewish aspect of my persona is expressed. 
In the late 1970s, I realized there was a lack of contemporary design  in  the realm of Judaic textiles
as well as other ritual artifacts.  Ideas began  to flourish leading to
my trailblazing this new  art field which expanded the Jewish market place.

"This is my God, and I will  glorify Him." Exodus
