Artist’s Statement: I remember the real Jewish shtetls of Russia. This is my Zaidy and Bubby near the little shtetl where I was born. Where are you now, my little shtetl . . . ? Only in my dreams and my paintings . . .

"Where is my little shtetl?" "Where is my little shtetl?", you ask. Not JUST in your dreams and paintings. Your Bubby and Zaidy are planting...and clearly, what they planted is growing in your heart.
