(Courtesy of Kaplen JCC on the Palisades) The Kaplen JCC on the Palisades Waltuch Art Gallery presents Evolving Art, a collection of paintings and ketubahs by Sheryl Intrator (Urman). The show will be on display from January 1-30, with a meet-the-artist reception on Thursday, January 9, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Sheryl Intrator (Urman), is an artist, curator, art historian, lecturer and teacher, who has exhibited her work throughout the United States and internationally as well. She is active in numerous art organizations including Salute to Women in the Arts, The Jewish Art Salon and the New York Artist Circle. As a series painter, she experiments with a variety of materials including paints, resins, glazes and gold leaf on wood or other surfaces to bring her work to life. She created Art For Learning, LLC., a vibrant art business that has been in operation for more than 20 years, and incorporates programming, art lectures and enrichment classes for all ages. She is also the resident art lecturer for the L’Dor VaDor program at Ahavath Torah in Englewood, where she is a member.

“Evolving as an artist is important to me, whether it is through experimenting with new materials, new techniques or new artistic themes,” says Sheryl. “I am always drawn to Jewish-themed art and subjects that explore contemporary issues of our times in new ways that attract a broader audience. My latest focus is creating ketubahs, an inspiration that began when my children were getting married.”

The Waltuch Art Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to10 p.m., Friday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Gallery is closed on Saturday and Jewish holidays.
