Instagram ‘activism’ and a most surreal week
Artist Jen Hewett talks about what it's like to be deluged with new followers amidst the growing number of lists highlighting Black artists
Jen Hewett is a printmaker, surface designer, textile artist, and teacher. A lifelong Californian, Jen combines her love of loud prints and saturated colors with the textures and light of the California landscapes to create highly tactile, visually layered, printed textiles.
When she’s not creating in her San Francisco studio or teaching her popular block printing classes, she can be found hiking with her high-strung dog Gus, cycling on San Francisco’s less-hilly streets, or hiding out at her neighborhood wine bar.
Jen has a B.A. in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, where she was also a Regents Scholar.
