Judaica

These 22 Hebrew Illuminated Letters are all painted and collaged on various handmade papers. Each is 81/2“ x 11” and horizontally formatted.

The materials used are gouache, acrylagouache, latex exterior paint, 23 carat Italian gold leaf, pearlescent inks, pens and decorative papers.

 

Each letter embodies deep religious meaning however, I have taken a more decorative approach. My intention is too surround each letter with beauty and joy.
