My work centers the women who live inside Jewish stories.

​

I stay with them beyond their function in the narrative, attending to how their experiences might have unfolded, how feelings may have gathered in their bodies, how presence forms in moments that pass without record. Painting becomes a way of lingering where text moves quickly, and traditional interpretations are almost exclusively male-focused, allowing time for interior life to surface.

​

I approach these figures through duration and repetition, letting paint accumulate as experience does. Gesture, posture, and stillness carry what is unspoken. Jewish tradition enters the work through familiarity and closeness, through stories I have known for a long time and continue to sit with.

 

The paintings hold space for women to exist fully within that inheritance, centered through sustained attention and the act of looking again.
