Lewin maintains a thriving retail business through his website and actively shares his artwork with an engaged audience on Instagram.
"Nature has been an important part of my work since I created the Caribbean folklore series. The hummingbird is the national bird of Jamaica, my home country, so it is a wonderful way for me to pay homage to the profound respect my ancestors held for nature, science, the dream world, and the interconnectedness of all living beings."
