VISUAL ARTS

A Light Unbroken​

by Michelle Jacobs

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
My work is deeply rooted in my Jewish Zionist identity and the rich traditions of Jewish culture. Growing up immersed in Judaism, I draw inspiration from both the ancient and modern experiences of the Jewish people, our history and our heritage. My studies in art history have shaped my approach to storytelling through visual art, allowing me to weave themes of memory, identity, and connection into each piece. I seek to create art that evokes reflection and emotion, encouraging conversation. Through my art, I connect with my own life experiences and intersectional identities—celebrating resilience, faith, love, and the ongoing journey and light of the Jewish people.

ABOUT THE ARITST
Michelle Jacobs is an artist deeply inspired by her Jewish identity, and her academic
background in art history. Growing up surrounded by Judaism, Jewishness and Israel remains integral to her artistic and personal life. Through her work, she seeks to spread Jewish joy and foster learning, blending cultural heritage with contemporary expression. When not painting, she works as an occupational therapist, helping children with special needs reach their full potential. Her art gallery is a celebration of faith, history, identity and the joy of creation, offering a unique perspective on Jewish culture and its enduring light that remains unbroken.
