Hi! I’m Jewell Melisa Morton.

I’m a jem when it comes to working and being an all-rounder. I graduated from Vermont College of Fine Arts for my MFA and Edinboro University for my BFA (in design). Raised in a military family that’s been shaped by both my Filipino, Italian American parents and world traveling (really just Japan). Me, my work, and everything around me is always evolving to figure out how those cultures and the people around me show up in how I hold myself: my values, voice and perspective.

Listen to music with me!
