ARTIST STATEMENT

I have always enjoyed the creative process. In addition to being a means of expression and a source of great enjoyment, art is a means of healing ourselves and facilitating the healing in others. I have worked in a variety of media, including printmaking, pen and ink, colored pencils and markers, watercolors, acrylics and oils.  My favorite themes include Judaica, landscapes, leaves and doves, both as representational and abstract expressions.
