While in the past, Jewett has explored working with the use of unnatural colours, as of late she has opted for a more vibrant palette. The artist explains that with the infusion of colour, she inadvertently discovered that her mind is more focused, effectively creating an easier entry point into a meditative state. The artist explained, “I don’t mean thinking of colour as an object in the world, with descriptives, history, and associations—no. Just pure colour. Shifting, oscillating, passively interacting with any sound present in the space. I have found it has the potential to shift the mental gears off the continuous narrative track and onto a visual one, surprisingly less subject to intrusive thoughts.”

Jewett’s incredibly charming and elegant interpretations of mythical animals command a steep price on the art market, and lately, she has been absorbed in bringing her dream-like creations to life in what she herself has described as an ‘elemental symphony’.
