a commission for your temple
or organization...
a painting to be treasured for all time.

A commission is a unique collaboration between artist and temple or organization. It is an original painting that captures the values, ideas and beliefs of your institution.

The painting above is a triptych created to fill a specific space in the entrance to Sinai Temple in Springfield, MA. After working closely with the board, we developed the concept of linking three important holidays and rituals—interweaving them with the changing seasons.

The painting below was created for Temple Beth David in Westwood, MA. The painting was designed to commemorate the dedication of a new sanctuary (the original building was destroyed by arson). Together, with the members of the congregation, we decided that the painting should depict a Purim celebration to express the theme of triumph over adversity, and, to celebrate the spirit of joy in the congregation.

I have also created works for hospitals, senior living centers, schools and community centers. In the winter and spring of 2002, I will be working on a commission for a new community center in downtown Rochester, NY. Please feel free to contact me to explore how we might collaborate to create artwork for your temple or organization. Fees for commissions begin at $8000.
