Liberation ~ The Hopes of a Jewish Boy

Private Collection, Golan Heights Israel

2026

This one comes from the deepest place in my heart. I want to share a painting that may be the most important work I will ever create.

This piece honors Morris Meiterman and his friend Sam Domb as young boys photographed in 1947 in the Zeilsheim Displaced Persons Camp in Germany after liberation, after surviving the Holocaust, and just before the State of Israel was officially born. The original photograph is part of the collection at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

To be trusted by Morris’s son, Steve Meiterman to translate this moment into paint is an honor that still humbles me. This image captures a fragile, extraordinary in-between moment after unimaginable loss, before certainty, yet already carrying hope, identity, and forward motion.

A boy walking with a flag. A future not yet named but already believed in.

As an artist, I don’t take lightly the responsibility of working with memory, history, and survival. This painting is not just art to me. It is testimony. It is remembrance. It is gratitude.

I am profoundly aware that I am standing on sacred ground with this work and I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to help preserve a story that must never be forgotten. Thank you, Steve. You and Leah are forever friends. I am grateful.
