Dinah, the Daughter, 2004
50cm wide x 70cm tall
Charcoal & Oil on Canvas

Dinah fell in love with a man not of her tribe. Her father approved of the marriage only if the entire tribe circumcised. On the third day, when the men were sore, her brothers killed all the men of the tribe and stole everything else.

Dinah fled to Egypt and left her family in horror. After long years of working alone and healing she rebuilt herself a new family. One day at the town water well she fell in love again. Dinah created a new family, one that was a real family of friends and love.

Dinah was the daughter of Leah and Jacob in Genis.
