Silver Moon Painting

Jewels is a Northern Ontarian Canadian artist best known for her sculptural multimedia paintings, monochromatic and impasto interpretations of moons, landscapes and nature scenes - to her commissioned cottages, vacation homes, animals and other commissioned works. Jewels was born country and raised in Goulais River, nestled between the Searchmont Mountains and Lake Superior. From an early age Jewels developed a deep love of nature and animals, spending much time at the Goulais River, Lake Superior and local mountains and wetlands. Jewels ran barefoot and rode horses bareback in the river, learning, breathing and swimming in the richness of the area. Jewels wrote poetry and sketched in the swamp behind her home as the textures, smells, sounds and images permeated her creative mind. Her humble earthy surroundings and deep connection with earth are the foundation, framework and the essence of her artwork. Themes of moons, talking trees, root systems, rippling streams, singing stones, the earth’s texture, energy, movement and symbolic shapes will speak to you when you experience Jewel’s multimedia paintings and sculptural works. Drawn by her love of the natural world Jewels studied Fine Art and Psychology in order to deepen her knowledge of the world around her. This deep understanding has allowed her the lift the veil and see things a clearer, to crystalize and to put into words what she already knew at a latent level. Jewel’s art reflects every moment, of every experience, all rooted in nature. The Universe's energy flows through her onto the canvas, revealing the divine which lies within. Jewels believes that art is the collaboration of the artwork, the artist and the viewer. The message and composition are not intentional and lies within the unconscious. The viewers’ perceptions and emotions are subjective. Each work will have an individual meaning within its own relevant framing. Art is an experience which speaks its own language, a moment of magic and mystique.
