🎨 Matriclysm Art Exhibit May 7 - Nov 22
🎶 “Upon Meeting the Goddess of Love” Out Now
💟 Founder @inspiringchildren #NotAloneChallenge
My new single “Upon Meeting the Goddess of Love” is out now 🫀✨ (link in bio)
The artwork is an original painting that will be featured in my upcoming exhibition, Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost, opening in Venice this May ❤️

I’m so honored to share that I’ll be debuting a major installation of my visual art practice at the @saloneverde in Venice, running alongside the @labiennale in 2026.
In partnership with @crystalbridgesmuseum and curated by Joe Thompson, Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost is a deeply personal body of work exploring motherhood, feminine power, and what we lose when that power is diminished.
This exhibition includes new paintings, sculptures, tapestries, installations and sound pieces created specifically for this show — my largest presentation of visual art to date.
Matriclysm will be on view May 10–November 22, 2026. I can’t wait to share this part of my creative world with you!

Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost has officially premiered in Venice ✨
Created in association with @crystalbridgesmuseum and curated by Joe Thompson, this deeply personal body of work explores motherhood, feminine power, and what is lost when that power is diminished.
Featuring new paintings, sculptures, tapestry, installations, and sound pieces, this is my largest visual art presentation to date.
On view now until November 22, 2026. To learn more about the exhibit go to jeweljk.com/venice

I’m coming to sing for you Venice! I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be playing a solo acoustic show June 14th in Venice, Italy. Get tickets now at jeweljk.com/tour

Nearly 200 guests from the international art world gathered on May 7 for the opening of “Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost” by Jewel. The evening featured an exclusive preview of the exhibition, intimate walkthroughs with the artist, curator Joe Thompson, Curator-at-Large for Crystal Bridges, and Rod Bigelow, whose institution @crystalbridgesmuseum presented the show.
For the occasion, Jewel wore the iconic Schiaparelli paintbrush gown designed by Daniel Roseberry - a surrealist masterpiece adorned with 6,000 hand-embroidered golden brass brushes that move like painted strokes, merging fashion and art. After the intimate exhibition tour, Jewel performed a live melody from the installation Seven Sisters, an immersive sound and light piece that transforms data from the Plaiedes constellation into a flickering light pattern that moves among seven hand-blown glass orb sculptures.
It was a true honour for us at Salone Verde to host an event of such international resonance, bringing together artists, curators, collectors, and friends from across the global art community.

Happy Mother’s Day my loves. (Swipe for process shots)
Painting this diptych was a way for me to honor and capture my love for my son, and also my devotion as a mother. The shirt on my portrait is unfinished to represent how my growth and healing and commitment as a mother is never finished.
The writing in the back ground is a poem I wrote for his portrait - and in mine , a poem he wrote for me.

From shaping the sound of the ’90s to redefining immersive art, @Jewel has always been guided by introspection. Growing up in Alaska, the multi-platinum artist was inspired by her six fiercely independent aunts and learned early on that she was “not a fragile thing.” That sense of self-reliance — and an instinct to question the world around her — became the foundation of her breakout 1995 anthem, “Who Will Save Your Soul.” “You can see what I was grappling with,” she tells L’OFFICIEL. “Am I responsible for myself and my happiness? Who will save me if I don’t? What is this culture teaching me?”
Decades later, those same questions continue to shape her creative practice. In her second solo exhibition, Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost — presented alongside the Venice Biennale — she expands her storytelling beyond music through sculpture, sound, and immersive installation, offering a powerful exploration of womanhood, memory, and human connection.
At the link in bio, Jewel opens up to L’OFFICIEL about accountability, creativity, and the ideas that continue to fuel her creativity.

In the ’90s, @jewel rocketed to music superstardom with her 1995 debut ‘Pieces of You’ and 1998 follow-up ‘Spirit’—albums that helped define a particular strain of folk-pop with her introspection and disarming directness. Her songs read like diary entries, confessions that are once deeply personal and universally relatable. Now, this emotion also defines her work as a visual artist.
Now 51, the Grammy nominee is about to debut her first solo art show, “Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost.” Held at the Salone Verde from May 7 to Nov. 22, 2026, the expansive exhibition will coincide with the 61st Venice Biennale. Thirty works, spanning painting, sculpture, tapestry, and sound installations, are arranged across a series of immersive rooms that unfold one into the next. The show moves through what she calls “matriclysm,” where themes of feminine inheritance, rupture, and repair sit side by side.
“I make work because I need it. I make work because something’s on my mind or in my heart, and I need to understand and explore it,” she says. “I’ve switched genres, I’ve switched mediums....You have to do what your heart tells you.”
Ahead of her big debut, Jewel opens up to ELLE about diving into a new industry—all while juggling motherhood and her music career on her own terms. Read the full interview at the link in bio.

Tomorrow my new art exhibition ‘Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost’ enters the world ❤️ There were plenty of challenges along the way getting the pieces to and in the gallery in the watery beautiful Venice! Here’s a little behind the scenes look on how we were able to get everything delivered in time for the premiere.
‘Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost’, presented in association with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (@crystalbridgesmuseum) and curated by Joe Thompson, will be on view in Venice, on May 7–November 22, 2026.
