and my store at
shop.veroniquejonas.com I have been creating art for several years and started doing Ketubahs about 15 years ago. A ketubah is a marriage contract, and it has different styles. Judaism and its culture are very much the core fabric of my life. The threads of this fabric are illustrated in life cycle events: the weekly Sabbath observance and
the yearly observance of festivals and major holidays. I find myself moved by the words, lines, and stories from the Torah. My art is an expression of the world's beauty and mystery that speak to my sense of sight, smell, touch, and sound. I see the expression of a greater power through nature, be it the mysterious landscapes of Monterey or the jubilant sunflower fields of Umbria. In an art world that is fast becoming exclusively abstract, the viewer sometimes needs a jolt of reality to face the world that surrounds them. It is in my individual expression of this realism that I find my personal voice.
