Your Vision
+ My Vision ~
Let’s Collaborate
I accept a limited number of commissioned works each year.
Commissioned pieces are created through conversation and collaboration, allowing space for intention, meaning, and trust to develop before any work begins. I work across mixed media and subject matter, including figurative, narrative, and symbolic themes.
Some commissions are deeply personal, while others are rooted in shared history, memory, or place. Rather than reproducing existing work, I approach commissions as new creations guided by dialogue, intuition, and the spirit of the collaboration.
Because my process is layered and exploratory, commissions take time. I do not rush this work, and I take on projects selectively in order to give each piece the attention it deserves.
If you are interested in commissioning a piece or discussing a project, please reach out through the contact form with a brief description of what you have in mind. I am happy to explore whether your idea is a good fit.

Current Projects
I am working with musician and composer, Sylvia Hollister, to align her music and my art to tell a historical account of the Jewish people from biblical times to present day. Our focus is on our strengths and resilience through good times and bad. We are emphasizing courage, bravery and heroics with deepest gratitude to those who gave everything in order that the story of the Jewish People may endure. Each Jew living today is a testament to Hashem’s faith that we bring light onto the world. We may be small in number but our contributions are immeasurable and miraculous.
Please join us ~ We are looking for persons who are skilled with film and technology, Jewish history and Hebrew translation. This is a volunteer opportunity to be part of this exciting project.
Kind Words
“I cried the moment I saw the painting Brina created for me. In a single image, she captured my life, my love, my joy, and my grandchildren—my perfect moment, dancing in Israel, surrounded by everything that matters most to me.
The movement, emotion, and connection feel alive. To see my world reflected back to me with such depth and meaning is something I will treasure forever. Brina’s gift goes beyond talent, it is intuition, soul, and love poured onto canvas. She truly saw me, and honored my life in a way I will never forget.”
— Orit Schneider
“I had recently been to a ‘We Will Dance Again’ exhibit honoring those killed at the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023. I had seen some of Brina’s early work and asked her to create something to preserve that memory. Her take was to look forward, maintaining a sense of optimism. It’s now on the wall in my New York apartment. Beautifully, beautifully done”.
