"I draw inspiration for my photographs from still waters and the human body. In my images, water is the reflective and transforming medium through which I examine human existence and the cycle of life and death." - Karin Rosenthal (more »)

 
Art at Mayyim Hayyim
One of Mayyim Hayyim's seven founding principles is "Hiddur Mitzvah," which is the rabbinic teaching that Jewish life should be beautiful.  Our art gallery is one of the ways we take this mandate seriously - and joyfully.
 
The Mayyim Hayyim gallery opened in January of 2006 with a juried show that featured 23 regional artists, who submitted work on the theme, "Everything Begins in the Water."

Since then, the gallery has hosted 17 art shows that have included a wide range of media, from pottery to video installation, photography to blown glass.

In the summer of 2008, we featured a one-woman show of bronzes by Nancy Schön, creator of the famous "Make Way for Ducklings" sculpture in the Boston Public Garden.
