Silk Charmeuse hand painted in vivid colors, which capture the light and create a glow, is a fitting fabric for Chuppahs / Huppahs, the sacred canopies under which brides and grooms take their wedding vows.

The Talmud tells us that the Chuppah / Huppah also represents divine light. Just as the Chuppah / Huppah covers the bridal couple, so this light surrounds all of creation. It is the light of wisdom and the root of all existence. After the wedding it becomes a personal treasure, an heirloom, and beautiful reminder for the couple to display as a wall piece.

Strauss has won numerous awards for her work and has been commissioned nationally by Museums and Synagogues.

Her Chuppahs / Huppah have been featured in BRIDE'S, MODERN BRIDE, and THE NEW YORK TIMES. She was interviewed in her studio by ABC EYEWITNESS NEWS for "Wedding Art".
