Artists
The United States is home to the world's largest community of ketubah artists, and the range is remarkable. You will find work from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and beyond. Studios here span clean modern prints, hand papercut, silk and watercolor, and fully illuminated commissions. Many ship internationally and offer both signed prints and one-of-a-kind originals, which makes the US a good place to start whatever your budget. We have gathered 6 artists below, leading with the studios whose portfolios are strongest and most distinctive.
Every artist below links out to their own website, Instagram or shop, so you can see their full range and reach them directly. We feature artists editorially, with credit; we do not take a cut of their commissions.
