![]() For the past ten years, Susan Weinberg has focused her artwork on family and cultural history, exploring these themes through painting and narrative. With a deep interest in genealogy, Susan began her exploration with a series of artwork on her own family history. She expanded her focus to the countries from which family came, exploring the Holocaust and pre-war Jewish communities through artwork. In recent years, she developed an oral history project with elders, creating artwork, text and video that captured their stories, telling the story of the broader Jewish community and the three groups of Jewish immigrants who came to the US in the twentieth century. In 2017, she published We Spoke Jewish: A Legacy in Stories, a book of artwork and oral history that grew out of this project. Currently she is developing work around the theme of memory. Susan has done solo exhibitions locally and nationally as well as in Poland and the UK. (webmaster for p2gx.com)

Joelle Zajfman
Vertical Divider
![]() Joelle Zajfman grew up in France, arriving in Israel in her twenties to study physics. After completing her master's degree in physics and working in research, she turned to art. Her work in sculpture and jewelry design, is influenced by her scientific experience as well as her fascination with the complexity of the forms and structure of the material, from which she finds an infinite repertoire of surprising patterns. Her work in sculpture begins with pencil sketches or clay. Her clay figures are later cast in bronze, often female figures that express the intensity, power and delicacy of the female body. Her jewelry also makes use of sculptural forms. Physical contact with the material as she shapes it with her own hands is an important part of her process as is exploring hidden sides of her own personality.
