From childhood, Juwels’ creative and artistic talents were encouraged by her parents, who were also accomplished artists. Juwels’ ability to work in different mediums, which include sculpting, painting, graphic design, photography , and fashion design has shown her creative diversity.

Juwels has created works for such distinguished personalities as Frank Stronach, Mel Lastman, Ed Mervich, as well as creating covers for HOToronto Magazine, posters for the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Toronto Fiesta, and Toronto Beachfest events. Juwels’ artistic eye for fashion was also prominent in Toronto through her LeGardi Haute Couture fashion design collection.

Juwels’ career was certainly on the rise when in 2001 her life took a drastic turn due to a devastating car accident which left her with both a broken back and neck. Juwels lay in bed for two straight years, followed by ten years of intensive rehabilitation and recovery. Juwels’ strong character helped her battle through this adversity and in 2013 relocated from Toronto to the rural community of Chatham-Kent, Ontario where she to this day calls her home.

After a lengthy hiatus, Juwels is once again displaying her talents as she puts her artistic creations on canvas. Juwels is excited to unveil and share with the public her first works of art in more that 21 years.

In 2020, Juwels created chocolate garments for a Chocolate Fashion Show and video shoot in Blenheim which was featured during Tajikistan Fashion Week in the central Asian country of Tajikistan.
