Shma Yisrael Carnation flowers and handmade bark paper adorn the watercolor letters of the Sh'ma. This prayer, referred to as The Watchword of Our Faith expresses the Jewish belief in one God. Original mixed media collage.
Holiday: On Passover, We Remember Camellias and pansies are inset into Stars of David. Pesach (or Passover) is written on the Seder plate, which contains traditional Passover symbols. Archival giclée print, ready for framing. About giclée prints.
Tikkun Sonoma Tikkun Olam, developed by 17th century Jewish mystics, is a teaching which means to repair the world, primarily through social justice and environmental action. This watercolor painting is a symbol of healing: for individuals, for society and the environment. Although the woman in this painting is meant to be Every Woman, she also represents my artist's life and me. My heart is in all that I do, and all that I create. I observe beauty, reflect upon that beauty, and then I create art that heals. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
To Life! Festival Logo Within days of returning from Israel in January 2001, I created this collage to express my hope of peace and continuity for Jerusalem and Israel. It has over 150 individual watercolor-painted pieces. The foreground depicts a luxurious mosaic floor tile from Masada. The top is Jerusalem, and includes the Western Wall and Dome of the Rock. The dove has Shalom--peace--in its wings. Chai is inscribed over an entrance to the Old City; and the upper reach of the palm is the letter Shin. Three small, golden, six-pointed stars evoke the memory of King David who made Jerusalem our temporal and spiritual home. The upper half of the To Life! with Mosaic collage became the logo of To Life! A Jewish Cultural Street Festival held in Palo Alto, CA in September 2001. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.
Holiday: Rosh Hashona The Seeing Eye represents God's omniscience. The ladder links heaven and earth, and represents an individual's fate and spiritual development. Views of the Old City of Jerusalem are illustrated through the ladder, and the Judean desert is within the ark. The Book of Life has glowing Hebrew Chai, meaning life. Pillars evoke the temple and the Torah. Vines encircling the pillars are fashioned, at the top, into the Hebrew letter shin, another symbol for God. The sun and crescent moon evoke the change of seasons and the passage of time. Grapes and pomegranates are among the seven biblical species associated with the land of Israel, and also represent fertility. Apples and honey are symbolically eaten on Rosh Hashanah to express our desire for a good and sweet year. Olive branches surround the words in Hebrew and English: Inscribe Us in the Book of Life. The background sky transforms into twin tallitot, or traditional prayer shawls. Archival giclée print, matted and ready for framing. About giclée prints.
Tree of Life V This elegant Tree of Life, with chai in center, evokes the movement of trees dancing in celebraion of life, spirituality and nature. The design was featured on the front cover of the 2002 Resource Directory published by Jewish Bulletin of Northern California. Archival giclée print. About giclée prints.

Universal One Universal One was created as a Jewish Meditation image.

Set inside a circle and Magen David, the Hebrew letters, Yud Hey Vav Hey, are arranged in vertical format symbolizing the human form. The letters represent the holiness within each of us and our Oneness with Adonai, our Creator. The letters are pure white light as an expression of all rainbow colors. The landscape is bounded, top and bottom, by Jerusalem stone.
Judaica Series IV

Judaica fundraising Note cards

Assorted 8-card package (2 cards each of 4 different designs):

Shalom: The dove has been traditionally associated with peace. In the story of Noah's ark, it was a dove bringing an olive branch in her mouth which let Noah know that the waters had receded enough for life to reappear on earth.

Menorah: In dark nights in the midst of winter, Jews around the world light the menorah celebrating Hanukkah. This holiday recalls the triumph of light over darkness and justice over tyranny.

Torah II: The Torah represents the heart and soul of the Jewish people and is referred to as the tree of life. This torah has the message: Sh'ma Yisrael--which is the watchword of our faith expressing our belief in one G-d.

Mazal Tov II: Bright, jewel-tone colors and many textures highlight this card of congratulations or mazal tov.

Assorted 8-card package (2 cards each of 4 different designs):

Pomegranates: The seeds of a pomegranate, according to biblical teachings, number 613--the same number of mitvot, or good deeds, contained in the Torah. Twin blue lines represent the Israeli flag and a tallit or prayer shawl. Sun and moon represent the change of seasons, the passage of time and the torah being passed down from generation to generation.

Dove over Sonoma: The dove of peace soars above vineyards and golden, rolling hills. Pomegranates represent the Torah; grapevines become Hebrew letters for chai (To Life!), a menorah, and shalom (peace). We also see olive branches, grapes, Italian cypress trees and barns.

A Good Year: A stylized Magen David becomes an apple tree of life which conveys Rosh Hashona (New Year) greetings.

Dove over Jerusalem: This night time vision of peace in the holy land expresses our endearing hopes.

Dove over Sonoma Vineyards Dove over Sonoma Vineyards is available as a 10"x16" or 14"x23" giclee print.

The original watercolor painting was 14"x23".
It was digitally transformed into a 7'x12' vinyl banner for Congregation Shir Shalom in Sonoma, CA.

The banner was dedicated in a special shabbat service in Sonoma on November 14, 2009.
I wrote and presented this poem for the occasion:

Dove of Peace over Sonoma Vineyards
Banner Dedication Poem
By Nina Bonos
November 14, 2009

Yea, I walk through the Valley of the Moon,
And it is wonderful!
Adonai is alive in the vineyards.

I feel her presence within and around me
While drawing and painting from my soul.
Inside the Shir Shalom window shape
A carefully crafted artist’s story comes alive.
Intuitively, shapes and colors emerge
From my heart, mind and hands
To share with you.

Sweet, purple grapes are ripening
While dancing on their vines.
Grapevines appear as outstretched arms of friends,
Reaching for one another,
Linking arms, davening and singing:
Hiney Ma Tov u-ma nayim
Shevet achim gam yachad
meaning....
How good and pleasant it is when
Brothers live together in harmony.

High above, the Shir Shalom Dove
Sings her Song of Peace.
Soaring in the blue sky towards the clouds,
The full harvest moon, and the heavens,
Her melodious song delights the ears
Of the valley inhabitants below.
We see man and woman’s presence
In the bountiful valley,
In barns and homes sheltered among
Native valley oaks and Italian cypress trees.

Grapevines become a menorah,
The symbol of ancient Israel.
Multi-colored leaves become flickering candle lights,
Warming the glow of Hebrew letters spelling Shalom.

Bright, red pomegranates recall our Torah.
It’s seeds, numbering 613, represent the number of mitzvot
Prescribed by our Tree of Life.
Olive branches are another important peace symbol,
Reminding us of the Noah’s ark dove returning from dry land,
Signaling an end to flood, and a return to peaceful times.

The golden, rolling hills of California,
Expressed in pastel, rainbow colors
Are our backdrop for a wonderful life in paradise,
Here in the Valley of the Moon on a beautiful autumn day.
