Hewitt is an extremely talented, energetic and physical printmaker. He cannot sit still and is compelled to work, to draw and carve. For Hewitt, the process of beginning and developing an image and the collaborative nature of printmaking, are what make the medium so appealing. Hewitt's work complements the collection at the Bates College Museum of Art because it is critically and historically important, particularly for a teaching museum with a collection focusing on prints.
