A short biography of Leah Sosewitz

Leah Sosewitz is a professional artist who has been creating unique Judaica since 1985. Well known for her one-of-a-kind Ketubot, she has also made a name for herself with several synagogue commissions in recent years including a large handmade book project entitled "Sefer Simcha" and the ornate design and painting of an Aron Kodesh.

Leah's work incorporates papercutting, paint, pencil, gilding with fine metals, bookmaking and embossing. She has illuminated existing manuscripts, such as a Megillat Esther, and her handmade book, The Jacob's Ladder, is included in a two year traveling exhibition entitled "Women of the Book".

Her illustrations can be found in the newly published Really Fun Family Haggadah, which marks a new area of exploration. Leah was a 1998 recipient of an Artists Fellowship in Ethnic Folk Arts from the Illinois Arts Council.
