I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, received my undergraduate degree in studio art from Brandeis University, master of fine arts degree in painting and sculpture from Columbia University, and law degree from Harvard Law School. For decades, I have maintained careers in both art and law, practicing in the Boston law firm, Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P.C. I joined the Gorse Mill Studios community in 2023 and am thrilled to be here.

 

​My artistic themes include music, dance, dreams, skies, spheres, the universe, Judaic texts and culture, people, time, love, and life. My art is included in institutional and private collections, and reproduced on the covers of numerous books, including Zohar: Book of Enlightenment, Wandering Stars - An Anthology of Jewish Fantasy and Fiction, Religion in der Grundschule, and many others. My painting “Exodus” is the cover of Peri Smilow’s recording, The Freedom Music Project, and “And The Women Danced” is the cover of Sue Horowitz’s album, The Power and the Blessing. I have recently returned to sculpture, which was my original training in art, and have been using semi-precious stones chips, wood, and other materials.
