My Israel

All the symbols of luck, tradition, and heritage in this incredible piece. A Sabbath table under a tent beneath the stars surrounded by date palms emphasizes the symmetry of this painting. The top and bottom borders celebrate the Jewish festivals; the side borders consisting of 13 moons refer to a Jewish leap year, which occurs 7 times in every 19 years.

Diane’s work is rich with color, design, narrative and tradition. Her works are painting in gouache, an opaque watercolor medium that enhances her vibrant palette, collages, mixed media, drawing or printmaking. She tells stories in each of her creations, paying homage to women’s empowerment, Eastern philosophy, mythology, and Jewish heritage and traditions. Handmade paper often adds texture and dimension to her work.
