Malka Esther

Painting featuring multicoloured Hebrew letters on a gold background — Exodus 15:20

My name is Marla Powers, Malka Esther in Hebrew

I paint very colourful gouache works using the Hebrew letters of the Torah, Siddur, Psalms, and other sources of Jewish liturgy. My work is inspired by the story of Noah in the book of Genesis. In that story, G-d made a rainbow covenant with humanity. From this idea, vibrant colour and a deep love of Judaism are my inspiration.
