“Creating custom Handmade Ketubahs is one of my favorite jobs as an artist. I work closely with you to create a work of art that reflects your individual and shared passions. The possibilities are endless as I truly enjoy challenges!” Please call to discuss the process.

Prices range between $600 and $1800, click on each ketubah image for sample pricing and a description of the media and process. Please allow at least 4 weeks but 2-3 months preferably.

All sizes and dimensions are possible for your Handmade Ketubah. The largest Nishima has made is 27″ x 37″ and the smallest is 16″ x 20″. Her preferred size is 22″ x 30″.

Art Ketubahs are fine art with ketubah texts as part of the background. Personal Ketubahs are designed around the couples’ lives, interests, stories, and significant symbols. Often Handmade Ketubahs combine elements from both Art and Personal Ketubahs, sometimes with hidden symbols in the artwork.

This gallery of one-of-a-kind commissioned ketubahs showcases a wide range of Nishima’s styles and media. Watercolor paintings glow with rich, saturated colors. Torn paper collages combine texture, depth, and complex color combinations. Oil and acrylic paintings bring a taste of traditional art. Nishima loves both realism and abstraction and specializes in combining them.

Writing in Hebrew and English can be laser burned into painted wood, hand-written with metallic inks that sit on top of colorful backgrounds, printed with elaborate fonts and integrated into the original art seamlessly, or hand-lettered in calligraphy on vegetable parchment paper.

A popular framing option for handmade ketubahs is wood framing with no glass. Ready to hang and archival: several layers of UV spray; sealed with matte medium or wax varnish (for original watercolors).
