Rivkah Simcha (she/they) is a New York City-born artist based in Rochester, New York. She uses ink, collage, and assemblage to explore the themes of death, grief, and transformation.

As a performer in the avant-garde theater troupe The Velvet Noose, Rivkah has exhibited artwork during shows at UUU Gallery, Visual Studies Workshop, and the Rochester Fringe Festival. Rivkah’s work has also been shown at Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Frank’s Chop Shop, Vayo Collage Gallery, Behind the Glass Gallery, Lumiere Photo, and The Yards Collective. Rivkah is elated to be joining Flower City Arts Center as an artist-in-residence in Printmaking and Book Arts and looks forward to learning and creating as a part of this vibrant community of artists.
