I think it’s important to show older work. Recently I was contacted by HUC-JIR, the Hebrew Jewish University for their BREAD & SALT Exhibit. These are taking place all across the city and is a year-long celebration. They went on my website. In an effort to explore my Jewish heritage, I joined JAI, Jewish Art Initiative, a wonderful organization founded by Ruth Weisberg. The curator for HUC took the time to go to my website which I so appreciated. I grew up in the Fairfax District, home to Canter’s and yes, I am connected to Jewish food and all food oriented events in a big way. They saw some older works from 2010 of which food was a focus.
I am honored to be in this exhibit! So please join us on April 25th, from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M., Jewish Wisdom and Wellness Learning together with Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion and the Kalsn Judism and Health, warmly invite you to the opening of BREAD & SALT, an exhibit that is a year-long city-wide festival exploring Jews and Food.
