My Background

Most of my work is in mosaic and glass, often as an attempt to beautify ritual objects. But my art takes shape in different media, as well, such as in wood and stone. I have done oversized pieces such as mezuzot, daily household items like mosaic glass mirrors, and unique pieces such as yizkor stones.

My Inspiration

I have been writing books and articles for many years. And while I continue to write for adults, most of my efforts of late have been focused on children's and family books, most probably as a result of being blessed with seven grandchildren.
