Meet the Artist

I'm an artist who paints from the soul. My work is rooted in my love for beauty, meaning, and the deep spirit of Jewish life. I create pieces that carry holiness, memory, and light — art that doesn't just decorate a wall, but becomes part of the home.

I am someone who is always striving to grow, to live with intention, and to create a more beautiful world. Painting is my way of giving that beauty a tangible form — something that can be touched, seen, and experienced every day. My purpose is to infuse that sense of holiness and inspiration into your space — sparking creativity, awakening connection, and making your home feel truly your own.

I work in both oils and watercolors, blending soft, gentle shades with vibrant pops of color that bring each piece to life. Whether it is a work that reflects the landscapes of our heritage, an abstract alive with texture and light, or a commissioned piece that tells your personal story — my hope is that my art brings you closer to what matters most to you.

My Mediums

I work primarily in oil paint, layered with palette knives and heavy brushstrokes to create surfaces you can feel from across a room. Oils give me the depth, the forgiveness, and the slow build that lets a painting find its own truth. A piece might go through five or six versions before it settles. That is the medium I trust for original work that will hang on a wall for a generation.

Watercolor is a different conversation. Quicker, softer, more about capturing a feeling than building a monument. I love watercolors for portraits and for the kind of pieces that need to breathe rather than command.

Gold leaf runs through almost everything I do. Real gold, applied by hand, catches light differently throughout the day — mornings, afternoons, candlelight on Shabbos. It is how I bring holiness into the texture of the work itself rather than just the subject.

For my semi-original pieces, I start with a fine art print of an existing painting and then hand-embellish it with real paint and gold leaf, customizing the color palette to fit the space it is going home to. Each one is genuinely one-of-a-kind, even when it begins from the same source.

What I Paint

Jerusalem is at the heart of almost everything I do. The Kotel in afternoon gold light. The old city walls. The narrow streets of Jaffa. The path to Kever Rachel. Jerusalem painted not as a postcard but as the city you experience when the tourists have gone home and the stones seem to breathe.

Judaica and Jewish home scenes — Shabbos tables, candles, fathers giving brachos, mothers and children, the small holy moments that make a Jewish home a Jewish home. These pieces are what I am best known for, and they are the most-requested gifts for weddings, anniversaries, and new homes.

Custom commissions are my favorite work. A couple's engagement photo transformed into oil. A grandfather's hand on a grandchild's head. A scene from the city you grew up in. A historic family photograph brought back to life. I walk every commission client through the entire process and send progress photos along the way.

Hand-painted plaques and gift objects — the Vezakeini plaque, the Hadlakas Neiros plaque, hand-painted wine and whiskey bottles. Smaller pieces that make meaningful, accessible gifts for people who want a real piece of art without the commitment of an original oil painting.

Between Two Homes

I lived in Jerusalem for six years. Long enough for the city to stop feeling like a destination and start feeling like a part of me. Long enough to learn the way the light moves across the same wall at different times of year. Long enough that when I sit down to paint Jerusalem now, I am not painting what I see in a reference photo — I am painting what I remember in my bones.

My studio today is in White Plains, New York. It is not the pristine, perfectly-lit space you might imagine. There is paint on the floor. There are half-finished cups of coffee on every surface. My brushes are organized in a system that only makes sense to me. And honestly, I would not have it any other way.

I ship pieces worldwide from both New York and Jerusalem. The work travels well because I package it like the heirloom it is meant to become — oil paintings with the curing time they need, plaques on their gold stands, prints flat or in protective tubes.

Working With Me

There is no online cart on this site, and that is intentional. Every piece — whether it is a $150 print or a $6,500 commission — goes through a personal conversation first. You tell me about the space, the person, the story. I help you find the right piece. That conversation is where the work begins.

For ready pieces — semi-originals or prints I have in inventory — the timeline is days, not weeks. For customized semi-originals where you want to choose the palette, two to four weeks. For fully commissioned originals, about three months from first conversation to your wall, because oil paint needs time to cure properly. For Vezakeini and Hadlakas Neiros plaques, around six weeks including curing.

The simplest way to reach me is WhatsApp — the link is at the bottom of every page. Tell me what brought you here, who the piece is for, and roughly what you want to spend. I respond personally, usually within a day.

I do this work because I believe art should be part of a home, not just decoration for one. If something on this site has caught your eye, or if there is a piece you cannot quite picture yet but you can feel — let's find it together.
