I don’t paint with the intention of being subversive. But I recognize that giving voice to women who were silenced, or rendering them as fully present, physical, and emotionally complex, can feel like a disruption, even a challenge. But I don't think questioning makes me less Jewish. I don’t believe observance is the only form of engagement.

I’ve been painting women from the Tanach for over a year now. Not all of them are names you’d know, some only appear for a few lines, some don’t even get that. But they’re there. And once I started painting them, they wouldn’t leave me alone.
