 llery talk by Lea Goldman and her partner Douglas Simmons. Light refreshme
 nts will be served.\n\nPainter\, printmaker\, poet\, and survivor\; featur
 ed artist Lea Goldman shares her series of large oil paintings\, “Gatherin
 g Sparks\,” based on the teachings of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) by
  Rabbi Isaac Luria. \n\nA holocaust survivor\, Lea Goldman spent World War
  II as a wandering homeless refugee\, was incarcerated in British prison c
 amps\, and lived in Israel during her growing years.\n\nHer partner\, Doug
 las Simmons\, has collaborated with Lea to create numerous art\, music\, a
 nd poetry projects. “Gathering Sparks” is one of their most important vent
 ures. \n\nThis project includes a number of large oil paintings painted by
  Lea. They seem to grow from Lea’s Jewish and nomadic traditions. Accordin
 g to art historian Elyse Speaks\, “Lea developed a visual language of tran
 slation\, on the uses of folklore and fairy tale\, to communicate a deep i
 nvestment in reverie and its possibilities.”\n\nBased on the old Hasidic t
 eaching of Tikkun Olam and the world’s creation\, the legend tells us that
  “goodness” was stored in a magical vessel that broke at the time of creat
 ion. The sparks of good grace spread all over the universe\, diluting the 
 essential goodness in our lives. Every person has a purpose and a duty to 
 gather those sparks of goodness and return them to their original vessel.
