Artist 01/1 - Present New York In City Charms I work with painted amulets that I designed as protection devices for noted American landmarks. I created these amulets to depict, address and counter the continuing post-9/11 sense of insecurity & vulnerability. I continue this theme in "Temple Talismans"; these apotropaic images aim to protect synagogues against attacks and to bring good luck.
