I just imagine Jasper's got a shed in Little Homeworld where she does her own art. It's a very personal thing and she's still hung up on connecting Lapis with art, so she does it privately. Lots of sculpting and making stuff with glass shards and sketches.
Occasionally she'll go back out into the forest and fuck up a tree or boulder, and take pictures of it. She doesn't move anything after the initial destruction.
Her art overall isn't very edgy or anything. It holds emotions that Jasper will take a while in showing. Her grief. Her fear. Her insecurities. Intimacy and the terror in that. And also her pride.
Her pride is a rather complex beast itself. Because she's got this whole deal of being the perfect Quartz, while also feeling an intense sense of being flawed. A failure. By the end of Future, Jasper has very few moments of being proud of herself.
So when she remembers moments, maybe during the war, maybe while in Yellow's court, even a few times on Earth, when she's actually proud of herself, she never wants anyone to see those art pieces. Because if they do, the whole facade would come crashing down.
Because even in those moments where she might feel genuine pride, genuine love for the self, all people will see is the red dust on her boots and the pink shards in her hands and the howling wind of a canyon yanking her hair into its claws. And the roar of the sea.
