Orna Amrani

ART: Amrani's Judaica available at show (Randall P. Lieberman, South Florida Sun-Sentinel).
Israeli-born Orna Amrani, a mixed media artist from Fort Lauderdale, has gained international acclaim for her innovative, three-dimensional creations. These creations are exhibited in galleries throughout the United States and abroad.

Amrani's art — which reflects her Jewish heritage — may be seen in the traditional designs, themes and motifs that echo her love of Jerusalem and Israel. Her creations demonstrate a lifelong interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the scrolls of the ancient Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews.

Amrani is just one of many artists who will be displaying their work at the sixth annual Boca Raton Fine Art Show, which will take place outdoors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 24-25 in downtown Boca Raton in Sanborn Square Park (71 N. Federal Highway — at the corner of Palmetto Park Road and Federal Highway).

South Florida seems to be a happening place for matters PaleoJudaic. This article doesn't show much of Ms. Amrani's work, but you can find lots more in the galleries at her website.
