                  "Portrait 
                  of Noga Ariel" 
                  2007 
                  Oil and Egg Tempera on Board 
                  24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.5cm) 
                   
                  I wanted to create a portrait that would honor and capture my 
                  good friend, musician Noga Ariel. I cherish my friend's sensitivity 
                  and imagination. She seems equally comfortable invoking the 
                  distant past or distant future, the macrocosm or the microcosm. 
                  She has the will of a soldier, but her strength stems from her 
                  compassionate, boundless heart. As she is a woman of many lands, 
                  and no land, I thought I would paint in the sea: the realm of 
                  emotion, and timelessness.
