Artist Statement for "Windswept" Ketubah

Artist: Nishima Kaplan

Original media: Pastel on paper

Bouquets of wildflowers grace a pristine dune along California’s famed Highway 1 in Nishima Kaplan’s stunning pastel painting, "Windswept."Like the dunes, your Love is ever changing, ever evolving, always fresh and new. Like the wildflowers, your Love is strong, beautiful, tenacious and alive. The winds of time and change may sweep past you, yet your Love will outlast even the mightiest gusts. Each limited edition ketubah is created using a special technique that is overseen at every stage by the Artist herself. "Windswept" has a "powdery" pastel texture that is evocative of the original artwork.
