Dora Holzhandler's Rabbi Studying Spinoza is probably contemplating some pretty deep questions (and possibly some answers).
On Sunday 18 March you have the chance to join the artist in an intimate Q&A session held at this year's Jewish Living Expo (more details here).
Art historian Sister Wendy Beckett has been a devoted supporter for many years and has aptly described Dora as "offering to life here a total yes." And looking at the scenes she depicts, whether a family sitting down to sabbath dinner; a pair of lovers hovering over Paris or a mother lovingly holding her child, we see Dora capture the essence of human experience, often tackling life's big topics through the sacredness she finds in the everyday.
Watch the video below to find out more about Dora's influences and outlook.
And click here to see how that's reflected in her art.
