CELEBRATIONS

From 2001, I drew Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations for my nephews and nieces using the passages from the Torah or Haftorah as inspiration. As my family has evolved into wedding and birth announcements I have continued to honor this generation with CELEBRATIONS, a labor of love.

Statement

It is always good to have an excuse for getting out of one's own head and create something for someone else. You begin at the end with gifts or commissions: you start with the person and work backwards. You take their ideas, the theme of the event to celebrate or commemorate or just a feeling about the person and bring that into your own artistic concerns. I think of this encroachment as a pebble in a shoe - an irritant that constantly reminds you of the ground from which your current project grows.
