Tendrils Of Thought and Whimsy

I love making tendrils and arts noveau-like shapes. This is on a small canvas.

When I get whimsical these shapes immediately emerge, they are my default doodles sometimes. This is on a large canvas panel.

Joseph, The Jew In Diaspora

On a 30x40 canvas I talk about one of the dualities that has always intrigued me. Joseph. My father always told me that Joseph was the epitome of the how the Jew should live when exiled from his native land. On the outside he looks Egyptian, his brothers did not recognize him! But on the inside he was Jewish and always had G-d on his lips. It also resonated with me when I was younger because of my affinity for denim jeans, which don't particularly look Jewish. 

Tipping the Scale...With Knowledge

Everyone asks me what the hand over means, I usually reply, its your own 'demon' whatever that is, although I would have assumed some sort of devil or something along that line of thought when I see a red hand and long black fingernails... When I painted it I was thinking things that tempt us are so numerous I needed something that could symbolize all of it.

Lodestone

I am sure there are many people out there who can appreciate this. A lodestone was used as a primitive compass seeing as it is magnetic and points north. This is my diploma, hopefully it will point me in the right direction through the choppy waters of indecision.
