Through striking bursts of color, the series evokes a sense of comfort and protection, emphasizing the crucial role that our environment plays in our emotional and physical well-being.

The Jezebel Series is a powerful call to action, urging us to acknowledge our choices and experiences, nurture our positive ideas, and protect them from the destructive weeds of doubt and fear.
