Here I am at the opening of the Falls Church Arts show, with the theme “Vivid”.  The picture is a silkscreen I did a while ago, in a class I was taking.  The biggest crowd I have seen came to the opening.

Here I am at the Falls Church Arts gallery show, “Flora and Fauna”.  My accepted entry is a pen and ink study of a snail.  I created it in an illustration class I took some time ago.  So yes, I can do some types of traditional art.   Photo by Judy Ortiz.

 

My piece “Diagonal Chai” was accepted to the members’ show at the Falls Church Arts gallery.  On opening night, a reporter from the Falls Church News-Press covered the story, and wrote a very nice piece about the show and my artwork in particular.  I am so appreciatve!

In March, I was invited by my synagogue, Olam Tikveh, to give a video talk on my work, as part of their “OT Talks” program.  Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQe8kMnqRc.   I appreciated the opportunity and it served as an introduction to meet more members of the community.

The Society of Gilders was invited to exhibit the work of its members in a juried show at the Polasek Museum, in Winter Park, FL. The opening reception was delightful, and attended by myself and a number of other members, as well as a huge public turnout.  The show is incredible – some of the finest gilding work you will see.  I was honored to have two pieces in it.

 

The picture on the wall to the left is my quilled “Tikveh (hope)”   The piece in the case is something new – a Guipure lace bowl covered in 18K gold leaf, with an accent of 6K gold.  This is not on my website, but here is a closeup.  By the way, I made the skirt and top I am wearing in the picture – with Guipure lace!
