Regina has lived in a multi-cultural, multi-generational Northern Manhattan Michell-Lama Cooperative since 1960. She grew up there as did her children. In 2008, after retiring as a social worker, she became a volunteer curator at an art gallery in her local spiritual home, bringing a diverse range of artists to share solo and group exhibitions.
Her own themed exhibitions began in 2013. At her Rabbi’s suggestion, she brought artists, poets, and dancers together on the themes of surviving war and thriving. After hearing survivors give thanks to those who helped them, she went on to honor community neighbors and others on the themes of being thankful, volunteering, making choices, being a human angel, celebrating a spiritual home, welcoming the stranger, and lives that have been disrupted. Her next themed exhibition, set to open in early February 2024, is named Time to Meet Mother Nature.
Regina is also a photographer whose photo Pigeons was chosen by Artists Unite-MTA’s Subway Elevator Project of 2013 for the 190th St. “A” train station, and her photo Fx Cam – Ft. Tryon Tree was chose by the NMAC postcard project of 2017. She has displayed her collages and assemblage art at Our Savior’s Atonement Lutheran Church’s Creations Projects, and RING Garden’s annual Art in the Garden. For more info: HebrewTabernacle.org
