Part mystic, part woman of the earth,

cracked open by life and shaped by poets,

shamans, healers, wise women,

children, and fools,

I move between the immanent and the transcendent,

 the broken and the whole.

My work has been described as that of an “elegant primitive,” awakening viewers through paradox, polarity, emotion, movement, and stillness. Simultaneously personal and universal, simple and multilayered, provocative and comforting, my work lives in the space between aliveness and stillness.

For many years, I have worked as a photographer, educator, and visual artist, receiving grants in support of my practice, teaching, serving as an artist-in-residence, and exhibiting in galleries and museums. Residencies include the National Havurah Institute, the University of Florida in Gainesville, Makom, and the Jewish Healing Center of New England. I work across media as needed to express the questions, mysteries, and lived experiences that shape my inquiry.

My work is held in institutional collections including the Museum of Biblical Art and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in Dallas, Texas; Hebrew Union College; Yale University’s Art of the Book Collection; and Cornell University’s Southeast Asia Studies Library, which holds my Bali photographic collection.

My photographic archive, rooted in and documenting life in New Haven, will become part of a museum collection.

Exhibitions include Chesterwood Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut; Yeshiva University Museum; the Rosen Museum in Florida; the Aidekman Arts Center at Tufts University; and the William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut, among others.

I weave all of this together with ongoing study and practice, including Collective Trauma and Timeless Wisdom with Thomas Hübl; the Apprenticeship with Sorrow with Francis Weller; and Buddhist, tantric, shamanic, and Judaic traditions. I have also worked with individual clients as a Kabbalistic healer, integrating these lineages into a deeply lived practice.
