Sonia
Gordon-Walinsky is a Judaic artist working in New York City. She creates
original artwork for life-cycle events, including ketubbot, baby blessings, and PasukArt, as well as other special
commissions. Her unique artwork is an integral component of life-cycle
experiences, deepening and enriching the meaning of these events as well as
promoting a spiritual process of learning, reflection and growth. Sonia is a graduate of List College, the
Joint Program between Columbia University and The Jewish Theological Seminary
where she earned a BA in American History and in Jewish literature with a focus
on liturgy. As a Drisha
Institute Arts Fellow in 2007-8, Sonia studied Sofrut
(Scribal Arts) with Soferet STAM Jen Taylor Friedman, and now she is working towards writing a Sefer Torah. She currently writes and teaches art midrash curriculum to the children of the Brotherhood Synagogue Hebrew School.

Artists Network.
