Faces of the Matriarchs An Artistic Depiction of Women in Genesis

" Lewis’ collection of artworks is an engrossing one. She aims for a realistic fidelity to her subjects but, for her, that doesn’t mean photographic realism. She powerfully captures the complexities of all four of these intriguing figures, all " exemplary yet flawed," and by extension, she provides profound illustrations of different aspects of humanity....This book will be an unconventional treat for anyone who shares the author’s interests in modern art and the history of Judaism."

Kirkus Reviews

"The critical role of the matriarchs has long been ignored and overlooked....This is a very insightful, unique, and compelling artistic depiction of the women. The paintings and the artist's explanations bring to life these strong women, their emotions of love, envy, jealousy, loyalty, and favoritism. More importantly, it brings their deep love of God and their critical role in ensuring that God's wishes were fulfilled to the much-needed forefront."

Violetta Lien, Ph.D.

"With her knowledge of Genesis and the associated interpretations, Melanie Lewis's keen artistic sense, use of imagery, color, and positioning, she captures the matriarchs' love, joy, commitment, hope, sadness, envy and loss. Lewis transforms these women into fully drawn and vividly detailed people."

Ester Smith, Ph.D.
