For those of you who spent time around your chanukiahs/menorahs and then your dinner tables this evening, it goes without saying: family is what sparks the Festival of Lights. Of all our UNDER $100 artists, CARA CROKE is definitely the one who touches so poignantly and eloquently on the power of family — in a very l'dor v'dor way. Her miraculous amalgamations of vintage photography and watercolor paintings combine childhood memories, rendered with stunning intimacy like the one of her and her Dad, with inspiring backdrops. No wonder our jury awarded Cara MOST INTIMATE for this work, which is joined by a second piece, "Hem," still available for sale as of this writing. Chag Urim Sameach!
