Higher and Higher Ketubah
by Risa Aqua
Ketubah Description
Trees, stairways, DNA, ladders, a scroll, a menorah…all reaching ever higher in this mystical/whimsical Ketubah. The colorful watercolor painting (reproduction) evokes a sense of seeking on many planes: intellectual, emotional, spiritual. At the same time, the rising, blossoming movement of the art describes the contentment and enjoyment that accompany this journey toward fulfillment, especially when traveling with one’s beloved by one’s side.

A watercolorist, calligrapher, and graphic designer, she recently illustrated “The Explorer’s Bible” (a Jewish children’s textbook) and has created commemorative art for many national and local organizations. Risa lives in awe of the human creative process; her own process employs intense listening and meditative sketching to translate ideas and emotions into beautiful colors and evocative images.
