Holy Sparks: Celebrating Fifty Years of Women in the Rabbinate

My artwork will be exhibited in the show, "Holy Sparks," a collaboration between the Braid in Santa Monica and Hebrew Union College in New York. Twenty-four women artists were challenged to portray twenty-four women rabbis.  I was honored to create a  piece about the supercool Rabbi Julie Schwartz. Rabbi Schwartz is the first female Naval chaplain. Usually, my work is in comics. With this piece, I wanted to challenge myself to present the multitudes of my subject in just one image. 
 
We've gotten some good press too!

    I draw memoir-style comics that explore being Native-American and Jewish.
