About the Artist:
Carol Racklin-Siegel is an award-winning textile artist and illustrator focusing on custom Judaica textiles and paintings.
Formerly a textile designer specializing in hand-painted fabrics for
the interior design and fashion industries, Carol's interests turned to
her Jewish heritage and identity. She expresses the spirituality of
Judaism by incorporating her textile design and fabric painting
techniques to Judaic and biblical themes. The result: Fine art Judaica and items for ritual use.
Chuppahs, etc.
Hand-painted
chuppahs (wedding canopy), can be custom-designed for the bride and
groom, and used as a family heirloom passed down from one wedding to
the next. This makes your wedding unique and serves as a treasure for
generations. The chuppah can be hung on the wall or ceiling after the
wedding, or serve as a canopy for the ceiling. Carol can
work with you to create a complete wedding package with the chuppah
theme throughout, with similar graphics for invitation,
bencher, ketubah, and other items. Carol also creates custom sukkah panels, synagogue seperation walls, tallises, etc.
