Sonia Gordon-Walinsky 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 teaches art at the Brotherhood Synagogue Hebrew School.
