about their art life

Greg Eisenson is a young and multidisciplinary visual artist currently studying design and fine arts at Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH) in Miami’s Design District (2025–2029) after attending Southwood Middle School of the Arts from 2022 to 2024. During their time at Southwood, Greg developed a strong foundation in artistic practice and public art, culminating in painting a mural from March to June 2024 at Southwood that reflects both creative vision and community engagement. In 2024, Greg also authored and published a children’s book titled The Chronicles of Pluto, a narrative driven by imaginative storytelling and illustration that showcases their literary and artistic talent.

In addition to visual and literary arts, Greg has contributed graphic design work to cultural and musical organizations.

Their diverse portfolio reflects a commitment to artistic growth, community involvement, and creative expression across multiple media.

Greg Eisenson is an active and versatile musical artist within the Jewish and broader performance community, serving as a cantorial soloist at Kehillah on the Beach with the Cuban Hebrew Congregation in Miami Beach, where they contribute their voice to Friday night Shabbat services and community musical events. Kehillah on the Beach is a growing Jewish spiritual community hosted at the historic Cuban Hebrew Congregation, with services led by Rabbi/Cantor Rachelle Nelson, known for her long career as a cantor, composer of Jewish liturgical music, and pioneer as the first female cantor to serve synagogues in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Nelson’s musical leadership and composition work are widely respected in Jewish communities nationwide, and she guides the musical worship in services that Greg supports.
