“Paul Graubard is a self-taught artist based in Lenox, Massachusetts, whose works reference American folklore and Jewish traditions. Though he arrived at painting through grief and trauma, his artworks articulate joy.

Below, Paul talks about this piece, painting, and childhood memories of bicycling.” –Laura Addison, Curator of North American & European Folk Art.
