A lot of times people think of Judaica as a holy kind of art, but I feel like every art is a holy kind of art, and the reason is that when I create art, I get in this sort of zone. I create it. I mean, physically my hands and my mind create this piece of art, but I don’t really feel like I am the one who’s creating it. I feel like there is this divine power source. I like to call it God. I believe it’s God, but you can call it whatever you want. I believe that God is streaming this creativity through me, through my vessel, and the final result is this art piece, this ketubah. In that sense, I feel that every artwork is holy because every artwork that we as humans create, we are only the vessels. This creativity came from a higher source, and that’s what makes the artwork holy. That’s what I believe.

💍💖If you’re engaged and planning your wedding, I’m sure that you have so much on your mind right now. And I’m just here to remind you that your ketubah is not another thing on your to-do list. Your ketubah is an opportunity to stop the race and to think of the values that bring you together as a couple, and this is relevant whether you’re using a traditional ketubah text or an alternative text. Choosing your ketubah artwork and choosing your ketubah text is a moment in time where you connect to your roots and you look further to your future together. So take a moment for yourself, a date night, a walk on the beach, a cup of tea, whatever it is. Just have this moment to talk together, to hug each other, and to think about your roots and your future.

LOVE & ABUNDANCE 🪷❤️ Leah & Jason wanted a ketubah that will highlight the meaningful milestones of their relationship. The artwork reflects both of their backgrounds, Ashkenazi Jewish, which is reflected by the layout of the artwork, which references ancient Jewish ketubahs. The Chinese culture is reflected by the red shades and patterns of the artwork. The monkeys represent their Chinese horoscope. Above the text window, I’ve illustrated a beautiful arch with monarch butterflies, symbolizing the beauty of transformation. The bottom of the artwork features a beautiful open landscape. The desert represents the place where they got engaged and are getting married. The ocean represents where they first met, and Mount Rainier represents their home, Seattle. Several infinity symbols are drawn in the water, hidden in the wave, representing the Chinese symbol for abundance. The poppy represents their home state, California, with one poppy that is orange, representing Josh’s grandfather. And the roses represent Leia’s middle name. The lotus flowers represent a combination of Chinese culture and Leia’s father’s devotion for meditation. And the beautiful bubbles symbolize those sweet moments when they create a bubble just for both of them.

I used to value my art only when I felt it was an expression of my inner world, only when I felt like it expressed my own feelings. And it took me a while to realize that it’s the exact opposite, that if I had the opportunity and the privilege to create art in this world, then what’s a better cause than to create art that is in service of others? And I truly feel this way today. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to create art that gives expression for others, to have the opportunity to be a canvas for the stories of others. And I wanna thank you guys. I wanna thank you for choosing me to be your Ketubah artist and for giving meaning to the art I create.

✨MIDNIGHT BLOSSOM 🌷Hannah & Eitan wanted a ketubah that would be inspired by ancient synagogue and beautiful stained glass. They wanted the atmosphere of the artwork to be calm, powerful, and beautiful. The artwork portrays elements of stained glass inspired by flowers, specifically tulips, anemone, and peonies, combined with rebar that is weaved into the stems of the flowers. The top section features the Star of David surrounded by beautiful circular stained glass, with two lions of Judah that are placed on each side of the Star of David. A small lotus flower is placed under the circle text window, representing their love for Asian art, love and passion, with another personalized calligraphy monogram that represents both of their Hebrew names. This unique ketubah artwork represents their deep love for the Jewish culture, Judaica, and art.

We aim to find our other half.. but the truth is we are already whole✨ when we get to know ourselves, get to trust ourselves, and get to support ourselves.. we discover that we are truly whole. when two whole individuals find each other, and walk through the journey of life together, theire united existence shines bright.
Their united love is whole in it self.
The Half never existed …✨
