About my work

Landscapes of nature and memory. Landscapes of spirit and place.

I am a Chicago-based painter and printmaker whose work explores the relationship between place, memory, and identity. My paintings often begin outdoors—through plein air observation or quick sketchbook studies—and evolve in the studio into layered images shaped by emotion, recollection, and inherited stories.

Whether I am painting forests, rivers, and shifting light, or creating work rooted in Jewish history, ritual, and cultural memory, I approach each piece as a landscape—physical, spiritual, or symbolic. These two bodies of work are deeply connected, reflecting my lifelong interest in how we inhabit the world around us and the inner landscapes we carry.

Across oil, watercolor, and monotype, I build images that weave observation with abstraction, nature with culture, and lived experience with imagination. My work invites viewers to recognize their own connections to place, belonging, and the stories embedded in the land.
