JEWISH ARTWORK + JEWISH ARTISTS!

Tikva Adler — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:41:37 +0000

I am a Jewish artist and I wanted to create a space to celebrate other Jewish artists + Jewish artwork in general. I created this Facebook group about a week ago and people have been flooding in ever since. You can discuss artwork, promote your shop, connect with other Jewish art lovers, and get inspired!

Feel free to join up and post stuff about your new artwork or favorite Jewish artist! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=148997195121243

“Mystical Wolf” Birthing Artwork – Sh’ma

Tikva Adler — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:06:43 +0000

After doing a guided meditation to prepare for my upcoming birth, I was inspired to make a painting using imagery from my experience. The image is a pregnant wolf with the Sh’ma painted around the border “Hear Oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE!” and the “ONE” is coming from out of the wolf’s mouth. The baby wolf has a blue gem glued to it’s belly. The red parts are going into and coming out of the wolf, and also surround the wolf. An arm cradles the wolf at the top, coming from the red, like the red shape is the womb of God in which the wolf is being cradled.

Mardi Gras inspired painting

Tikva Adler — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:25:27 +0000

This glittery painting of a mysterious woman was inspired by a friend moving to New Orleans, and also reminiscing about my childhood there. Being pregnant has brought on a lot of my own childhood memories…

Mystical Woman Surrounded by Flowers — Jewish Renewal Artwork

Tikva Adler — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:35:09 +0000

This painting has a meditative feeling, and depicts a woman deeply connecting with the natural world around her. She is attuned to the spiritual aspects of nature, and has a blissful look in her eyes. I made this painting while fasting on Yom Kippur, and listening to Krishna Das. This interesting combination produced a uniquely mystical painting and a feeling of new beginnings.

Mystical Woman in Nature Meditation — mixed media drawing

Tikva Adler — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:45:00 +0000

This drawing depicts a woman deep in meditation or prayer, connecting with the natural world around her. The trees and the sunrise are one with her, twirling themselves into the curls of her hair. This drawing was inspired by the Hebrew Sh’ma prayer: “Hear, Oh Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE!”, which I interpret as meaning that God is one, all is one, all is God!

“I Fell In Love with the Evil Robot” (Relationship Painting)

Tikva Adler — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:21:58 +0000

This playful painting is about unreciprocated love, or falling in love with someone who is emotionally unresponsive. The girl is gazing lovingly into the robot’s cold steel gaze, unaware that he will never become a cuddly creature. The robot has painted silver accents which have a metallic shine when light hits them.

Empowering Pregnancy Artwork

Tikva Adler — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:53:55 +0000

This drawing was inspired by children’s books like Dr. Seuss. It is a playful representation of a pregnant woman telling her pain (shown as a large scary wolf) to “SIT, BOY!”. She is taking command of the sensations in her body and feeling empowered, ready for labor! This can be given as a gift to a pregnant woman, used in meditation, or be a reminder during labor of who is REALLY in charge of your experience (YOU!)
