Distant Shores Ketubah
by Nishima Kaplan
Ketubah Description
Inspired by the wild, unspoiled beauty of California’s Big Sur coastline, “Distant Shores” was created by Nishima near the coastal village of Carmel-on-the-Sea as she sat in a field of wildflowers on a windswept cliff overlooking the pristine Pacific shores. A perfect match for couples who are planning a beach or ocean-side ceremony, “Distant Shores” captures the romance of your wedding day with a view of the many happy years which lie ahead. Each limited edition ketubah is created using a special technique that is overseen at every stage by the Artist herself. “Distant Shores” has a “powdery” pastel texture that is evocative of the original artwork. Certain to become the centerpiece of any room, “Distant Shores” is a timeless reminder of your commitment to each other.
Ketubah Artist Bio
Nishima graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 with degrees in Russian studies and Multinational Management from the Wharton School of business. Unsatisfied with business, she continued to search for her life’s work. Later, she discovered that her deepest passion and destiny was to be an artist. She continued and completed studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art for three years, receiving classical training in drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpting. In 1998, she designed and painted her first ketubah as a wedding gift for friends. Since then she has created hundreds of Hand-Made and Limited Edition ketubahs.
