Sima Elizabeth Shefrin

For more than thirty years I have made quilts about real people and their struggles and celebrations. Sometimes they are about me, and sometimes about people I think about a lot. I try to create art work that is honest, hopeful and beautiful.

In this section you'll find a selection of my Jewish stories, which form a substantial part of my art work. You'll also find the Elisabetta stories, as Italy is an important part of my history, though not my heritage. And finally I've included a sampling of the art I do around themes of peace and justice. For more on that check out the Middle East Peace Quilt link on the right.
