We are…Artists & Scientists

Just as the New South welcomed Jewish peddlers, merchants, and industrialists, so too has the Sunbelt greeted Jewish artists, writers, scientists, engineers, and professors.

 

“Bridging the gap between worlds—the visible and invisible, the spiritual and tangible, an idea and its final form—is what I do with my hands and my heart.”

Rob Levin, Burnsville
