Lea Weinberg, Israeli/American sculptor and assemblage artist, has shown extensively in both countries in solo and group shows in galleries, museums and colleges, winning awards. Weinberg is an active member of  the New York Society of Women Artists. Her artwork is at the Hammond Museum, NY, in private collections, and public space.

“In my works, emotional layers of past lives, dark times in history, loss and pain intertwined with hope and the creation of a new life. The essence of the color red in my works is the energy of birth, life and pain. Motherhood, feminism and human relationships influence my work, as well as the fact that I am the daughter of two Holocaust survivors.

The 2023-2024 series of assemblage works consist of reused, old metal objects, wires and various candles, with red wax and dark smoke. In those works the Shabbat lamps are broken and turned over like our world turned upside down in one terrible black Saturday of October 7, 2023. The white shabbat candles became bloody red memorial candles.”
