Artist’s Notes: “The Song of Songs has been interpreted in numerous ways.The traditional commentary sees the text as a parable for God’s love for the Jewish people. Others treat it literally as a description of the love between a man and woman. I chose to emphasize the Jewish people’s connection to its land and to expand on the descriptions of the panoramas ,the natural resources, and the seasons; and to focus on the flora and fauna of the Land of Israel. In this frame of mind, I began working on the illustrations.”

The Song of Songs book is included in collections of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, the Harvard Judaica Collection, the Library of Congress and Yale University Judaica Collection.
