Melanie Dankowicz
Melanie Dankowicz strives to create striking and complex impressions, uniting traditional Jewish motifs with contemporary themes. Her metal and papercut art integrates Hebrew text and Jewish symbolism, bringing out the beauty of these symbols by balancing the flow of lines with the depth of space. Melanie began her artistic career in papercut and lasercut metal in 1994 when she designed the ketubah for her own wedding. She is inspired by the countryside of Illinois, where she lives with her husband and three children.
