Two white roses fill the purple background in this modern ketubah by Claire Carter, "Adoration" ? one bloom in the upper right corner and the other in the lower left, while the ketubah texts are placed in the corners opposite the roses, the signature lines directly below the text. The light text color compliments the design. The white rose is a timeless symbol of love, adoration, purity and worthiness. Two roses are often used to represent an engagement, a joining of two lives. These delicately painted roses are shown in full bloom, as is the love of a couple devoting their lives to one another. Our artist's approach to painting these flowers was inspired by the American Modernist, Georgia O'Keefe.
Claire began working with MP Artworks at the Florida Studio in 2001. Encouraged by the work of the other artists and the art of ketubah making, she then began to explore and connect her Jewish heritage to her painting. This season breathed fresh air into her work and she soon began to display her paintings with MP Artworks. She is delighted at the privilege of sharing her work with couples as a celebration of their marriage and of Jewish culture.
Claire graduated from the University of Hawai'i in 1997, earning a BFA in painting with High Honors. Her works have appeared in exhibits throughout the U.S. and Canada. She currently works as a painter and graphic designer and resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia with her husband, Ian.
