Meet the Artist (Jeweliyana Reece)
The Quiet Symphony Unfolds
My art, my paintings are a song for the underdogs. Glory to the wingmen, the overlooked and under noticed. Magnificence isn’t boastful, it’s a quiet revelation waiting to be discovered. The red of a poppy may steal the show but it’s the seed pods n furry buds that intrigue me. The bark on a tree, in the dead of winter, managing to dazzle on the gloomiest of days. Glorious, snow-laden trees, an endless backdrop to the star moose couple on the side of the road. Tiny green buds of hope on a barren pathway catching your eye on the first bike ride of the season. Beauty is ever where – seek and you will find, in the quiet moments, out of the corner of your eye, life is revealing itself one miracle at a time.

Fused Glass Art
Glass ArtI've explored many art forms over the years. Pottery, batik, painting, interior decorating. When I found glass I thought it would be my forever medium but the universe had other plans. Plates evolved into paintings. Each stroke, cut and fit like a puzzle made of glass then painted with frit (glass particles the size of sand) Little did I know this was just leading me back to painting.

Original Paintings
Acrylic PaintingsThe more I painted with glass, the more I wanted to paint on canvas. You can't mix glass to get colors like with paint and the calling of those yummy texturing mediums was just too loud to ignore. As of 2024 I am still teaching glass classes and do the odd commission in glass but the majority of my time is spent painting now.

Printed Art Products
Check Out Home DecorWhen I studied interior decorating, complimentary patterns (my fave) were hard to come by. Add years of working in the promotional products industry, some new technology and here we are. From images of my art I create patterns that often look nothing like their origins. Perfect for home decor, lifestyle and fun fashion accessories adding a touch of colorful, joyful art.
