Tamar King
Tamar King has been working as a calligrapher and ketubah maker since the 1970′s. Her designs combine her background as an architect and her appreciation of the clean lines of modern design with love of painting, symbols and letters. The naturalistic motifs she uses reflect her upbringing in New England and her years of living in Jerusalem. These two aspects of her work come together in strong compositions full of precision detail and color. You can be in touch with Tamar at tamarking@gmail.com or 617-787-5569/617-331-4599.
Ketubot by Tamar King
These are three handwritten and hand painted ketubot that show a range of possibilities for different prices. The more intricate and detailed examples cost $1200 and the simple unadorned circle is an example of the lowest price I can offer for a custom piece, $450. Whatever the budget I enjoy working with each couple to make them a unique ketubah that includes their choice of text, symbols, colors and style.
