Hey, I’m Shannie!
Meet the Artist
Born in Jerusalem and raised in Canada, my work is deeply influenced by my Israeli heritage, which is reflected in the food, art, and décor of my upbringing. Growing up surrounded by beautiful imported Israeli jewelry in my parents’ store, I developed a love for Judaica and cultural art. My art spans various mediums, including traditional acrylics, watercolors, and digital art, all infused with a sense of play and wonder inspired by life and nature. Recently, my late father has been a significant source of inspiration, and his memory lives on in my personal works.
I create vibrant, whimsical scenes that often border on the fantastical, drawing from my love of humor, lightness, and fantasy. Whether through limited edition giclee prints, children’s illustrations filled with magic and adventure, or traditional Jewish home blessings and Ketubah art, I aim to leave my whole heart on the canvas. Please feel free to reach out with any requests, I would love to create something for you!

Home Blessings or “Birkat Habayit” is a Jewish blessing for the home that can be customized with a variety of texts to add good vibes to your living space.
Ketubah Commissions
Custom Ketubah Art
Ketubah art is like the fancy, decorative version of a marriage contract in Jewish weddings. It’s not just about legal stuff; it’s a beautiful piece of artwork that reflects the couple’s love story and style. After the wedding, it becomes a cherished keepsake, hanging on the wall as a reminder of the vows they made on their special day.
