Jewlya’s collection of paintings explores the spectacle of girlhood. The artworks are a visual journal, each piece a page from the artist’s diary recording her experiences, feelings, and memories. She is inspired by the mythos of femininity and our culture’s obsession with youth. Using satire and clichés the artist pokes fun at the dogma of femininity, childhood, and their associated stereotypes. Through these paintings, she strives to provide validity and camaraderie to those who relate while also confronting those who cannot.
