Her work explores the interconnection between the natural world and the internal landscape. Through intuitive drawing and painting botanical imagery is used to reflect the mirrored systems found in nature, the body, and the cosmos. Originating from personal inquiry, Yushin’s work is a return to embodiment and meaning-making through the tactile act of creation. Florals are used as both symbols and systems, forms that hold memory and mystery. Each piece is a meditation on the balance between structure and surrender, the micro and macro, the seen and unseen. Chef Kumiko: Chef Kumiko is a Brooklyn-based catering chef whose culinary style blends wholesome cooking with artistry, drawing from the mindfulness of Japanese tradition and the cultural diversity of New York City. With a passion for holistic nourishment rooted in health-focused culinary education, and complemented by extensive experience in graphic design, she treats each dish as a canvas where flavor, culture, color, and wellness meet in harmony.

“One Fine Day” with Shu Tu /@beingshu2
JEWELL HOUSE is proud to present One Fine Day, a solo exhibition by Shu Tu.
Inspired by Lao Zi’s words, “Nature does not rush, yet everything is accomplished,” this body of work offers a quiet response to the relentless pace of modern life. Through ceramic paintings and vessels, the artist explores the beauty of stillness and the profound grace found in the ordinary.
One Fine Day invites us to pause to soften our focus and notice the gentle rhythm of everyday life: a single bloom along a sidewalk, the unfolding of a petal, or the effortless harmony of a garden shaped by nature’s quiet design. Each piece was born from moments of still presence, where creation emerged not from urgency, but from attentive calm.
During the holiday season a time often filled with noise, pressure, and expectation—this exhibition offers a space for reflection and grounding. Amid the gatherings and lists, One Fine Day reminds us that presence itself is the greatest gift we can give.
Through this meditative collection, Shu Tu shares a simple yet profound truth: nothing needs to be more than it already is. Wholeness exists in the smallest gestures, and sometimes, a glimpse of quiet beauty is all it takes to make it one fine day.
What moment of stillness lives within you?
“One Fine Day” by Shu Tu is on view for 3 months, from DECEMBER 4th –FEBRUARY 28th, during operating hours at JEWELL HOUSE (10am–7pm daily).
On View: December 4th – February 28th
Hours: 10am–7pm daily
All artworks are available for purchase. Please inquire.

JEWELL HOUSE is not only a sanctuary for art and beauty—it is a space rooted in wellness, community, and connection.

PID Floors: Montell Jordan’s SUSTAIN Fundraiser & Silent Auction
2025-12-04 18:00 - 21:00
Join us at PID Floors for an inspiring evening as the Design Community unites to raise awareness about prostate cancer and support the creation of a powerful new documentary film, SUSTAIN. Crafted by the Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, Montell Jordan, and aiming to spotlight the importance of early detection, education, offering a voice to an issue that affects millions of men and families every year.
A gathering of designers, makers, and advocates committed to impact.
A Fundraiser & Silent Auction
An inside look at the filmmaker’s vision and personal journey.
Opportunities to learn, support, and connect.
Light refreshments, creative energy, and meaningful conversation.
Hosted by Vergara Homes.
Your Support Makes a Difference
Funds raised will directly support the production of SUSTAIN. Your participation helps ensure that this intimate, important story is told—and that it reaches those who need to hear it.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of purpose, creativity, and hope.
SUSTAIN is an intimate portrait of Grammy-winning artist Montell Jordan as he confronts a life-altering prostate cancer diagnosis at the height of personal triumph. Known for the iconic anthem “This Is How We Do It,” Montell strips away the bravado to reveal a deeper truth about faith, family, and masculinity. Through raw confessions, spiritual reflection, and moments of humor and love, the film redefines strength—not as invincibility, but as the courage to be seen in vulnerability.
Learn More About SUSTAIN the Movie.
“I fight for my future and for yours.”
– MONTELL JORDAN Global Ambassador | Zero Prostate Cancer
This isn’t just about supporting a film—it’s about being forever connected to a story that will save men’s lives, protect families, & change legacies.

Simons Foundation Presents: Reflections on the Moon
2025-12-05 18:00 - 20:00
For as long as humans have looked up, the moon has shaped our imagination and our history. It pulls our tides, inspired the space race and still looms large in science and culture. Yet from Earth, we’ve only ever seen one side of it. Our first glimpse of the far side came in 1959, and only 24 humans have ever seen it in person, leaving it steeped in myth and mystery.
Cosmologist Adrian Bayer studies the universe across its history from its oldest light to the vast structures of galaxies and dark matter that shape its evolution. Relative to his work, the far side of the moon — which is shielded from radio waves from Earth’s constant noise — could be the perfect site for a next-generation radio telescope with the potential to transform our understanding of the cosmos.
Sociologist Tracy Scott, daughter of Apollo astronaut Commander David R. Scott, brings a unique lens as both researcher and “astronaut kid.” Her work explores the connections between society and NASA’s moon missions and highlights how evidence can deepen critical thinking, spark reflection and guide more informed choices in science and everyday life.
Join us under the final full moon of 2025 as Bayer and Scott sit down with NASA’s Denise Hill for a conversation about what the moon continues to teach us, from its role in science and discovery to the cultural and personal stories it carries.
Registration opens 3 weeks before the event and closes at 2PM day-of.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Bayer is primarily a cosmologist who specializes in simulating and analyzing the large-scale structure of the universe and the cosmic microwave background. His work aims to optimally uncover the secrets of our universe, such as the fundamental nature of dark matter and dark energy and the mass of neutrinos. He also develops statistical and machine learning tools for use throughout astrophysics and beyond. Bayer studied physics at Imperial College London, earned a master’s in applied mathematics at the University of Cambridge, completed a Ph.D. in physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and now holds a joint research position at the Flatiron Institute and Princeton University.
Scott received an A.B. in economics from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University. From 2014 to 2020, she was director of Emory University’s Quality Enhancement Plan, “The Nature of Evidence: How Do We Know?” Scott’s current research project (“Moonshot Astronauts and Their Families: Exploring Image vs Reality in the Early Space Era”) brings together her history as an early-era “astronaut kid” (daughter of David R. Scott of Gemini 8, Apollo 9 and Apollo 15) with her professional expertise as a sociologist.
Hill is the strategy and operations lead for NASA’s Heliophysics Division (HPD). She is instrumental in helping manage HPD’s multi-million-dollar flight portfolio dedicated to studying the sun and its profound impact on Earth, the solar system and the space environment. Before this role, Hill was HPD’s communications, outreach, and media relations lead. Her prior experience includes leading communications for the Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy campaign and the Health Equity Task Force, as well as serving as a senior speechwriter and policy editor at the Department of Transportation, where she led communications for the Research and Technology Office. Hill began her career as an educator and curriculum developer, where she specialized and conducted extensive research in the areas of child psychology, brain research and gifted and talented education.

Join us to create a beautiful Shimenawa wreath, a traditional Japanese decoration used to welcome good fortune and prosperity for the New Year. Shimenawa, crafted from sacred straw rope, symbolizes purification and protection, and is commonly displayed at home entrances.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll guide you in making a custom Shimenawa wreath adorned with preserved and dried flowers, which, with proper care, will last well beyond the holiday season. You can create a traditional look or customize the colors to match your home’s decor. After the New Year, you can remove the Shimenawa base and repurpose the arrangement for year-round decor as you wish.
Shimenawa and Mizuhiki cords are specially imported from Japan, ensuring an authentic experience. The Shimenawa wreath itself will measure approximately 9 inches/22cm in diameter, but the overall size will be larger once you add your floral arrangement, which will vary based on your design.
Please note that example photos are provided for inspiration; your finished wreath will be uniquely yours and may vary based on your chosen colors and arrangements.

Simons Foundation Presents: Shaping the Future of Neuroscience
2026-01-30 18:00 - 20:00
What is consciousness? Can we find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease? Is the gut-brain link real? Neuroscientists around the world spend countless hours using cutting-edge techniques and experimental tools to answer these and other questions about the mechanisms that control the brain.
But neuroscience is a diverse field. Neuroscientists study everything from how our brain processes social interactions to how our memories form to why we need sleep. Given how there is still so much that we don’t know about the brain, how should the next generation of neuroscientists decide what to focus on? T
he Transmitter — an editorially independent publication of the Simons Foundation focusing on news and developments in neuroscience — recently showcased 25 early-career researchers who are tackling some of these major questions. Among these Rising Stars of Neuroscience are Nancy Padilla-Coreano, a researcher who studies the neurobiology of decision-making; Marissa Scavuzzo, who investigates nervous system cells in the gut; and Jie Zheng, who focuses on cognition and memory.
Join us as these three rising stars sit down with Francisco J. Rivera Rosario, associate editor, opinion and community at The Transmitter, for a conversation that will explore where the field of neuroscience is headed next and how their work is helping to drive it forward.
Registration opens 3 weeks before the event and closes at 2PM day-of. Review the full list of registration & entrance requirements below.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Zheng is an assistant professor in neurological surgery and biomedical engineering at the University of California, Davis. Her research uses cutting-edge single-neuron recordings in humans to explore how the human brain encodes and retrieves memories. With a background in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, she bridges the fields of engineering and neuroscience to uncover the neural basis of human cognitive functions. Zheng is a recipient of the NIH BRAIN Initiative Advanced Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity and serves as associate editor for Frontiers for Young Minds, where she promotes science communication to young audiences.
Scavuzzo is a neuroscientist and faculty member at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the Institute for Glial Sciences. Her lab studies the enteric nervous system, known as the “brain inside your gut,” a diverse cellular network in the gut that regulates digestion. She and her team develop new cellular and genetic approaches to study these complex cells, creating a framework to understand their diversity and roles in both gut and neurological health and disease. Beyond her research, Scavuzzo is deeply committed to mentorship, equity in science and open collaboration to ensure discoveries are accessible to all.
Padilla-Coreano is a neuroscientist and assistant professor at the University of Florida, where she leads the Padilla-Coreano Lab, studying the neural circuits and dynamics that support social competence and how they are altered in disease. Padilla-Coreano earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, and her Ph.D. at Columbia University. She completed postdoctoral training at MIT and the Salk Institute. Her work has been recognized with awards from the NIH BRAIN Initiative, the Simons Foundation and the L’Oréal Women in Science Fellowship. She is passionate about amplifying the voices of young scientists whose backgrounds have been historically underrepresented in research. She is a cofounder of Stories of Women in Neuroscience, which produces interviews and profiles of women in neuroscience research in English and Spanish.
