A multiplatinum singer-songwriter, mental health pioneer and visual artist, Jewel has always had one goal: to create work steeped in human connection. This May, she debuts her second major art exhibition, “Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost,” at Venice’s Salone Verde during the Venice Biennale.
Beauty to me is…
Feeling empowered to allow my unique spirit to be expressed through how I dress, how I move, how I care for myself, how I sing and how I show up in my life.
The greatest thing about aging is…
Knowing your worth as a woman.
I feel most beautiful when…
I am expressing my authenticity in whatever I happen to be doing. It gives me a feeling of power that no one can take from me, and that power makes me feel beautiful.
The beauty move I can’t master is…
Posing in photos. After all these years, I still haven’t mastered it!
The last in-office treatment I tried was…

Used a red light mask.
I am proudest of…
