Jewel Hovland (b.1999) is a multidisciplinary artist with focus in ephemeral sculpture, drawing, painting, and assemblage. She is an alumni of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts highschool program and has recently earned her BFA from Florida State University.

Her focus on the aesthetic motifs of natural materials and their cohesion is informed by the science of observation as a means of experimentation. Often embodied by circle motifs and repetition, Hovland utilizes organic materials and synthetic detritus to encapsulate how vision informs interaction with the environment. Through a conversation between sight and the inner mind, her work interrelates human consciousness with parallel systems in nature.

Hovland has exhibited her work in galleries and museums across the state of Florida, most notably the Baker Museum, Naples (2016); The Von Liebig Art Center (2017); the Marco Island Center for the Arts (2017); SOHO Gallery, Tallahassee (2020); and solo-exhibitions at 621 Gallery (2022) and the Phyllis Straus Gallery, Tallahassee (2021). She is a double recipient of the Ann Kird Award.
