Background

Luvly Moon is an illustrator, installation artist, and muralist based in Charlotte, NC. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the city - the Mint Museums Uptown + Randolph, Hart Witzen Gallery, Charlotte Art League, Goodyear Arts and more. 

As an anonymous artist- choosing not to share her face and creating under a pen name since the age of 16 was in protest of the male gaze which clouds the perspective of the viewer rather than allowing the art to speak for itself. Born and raised in Detroit but moving around a lot in her youth led to her mostly nomadic life between rest periods with family and friends in the Southeast.

Her early work focused on healing the inner child while currently, she is exploring more painterly expressions and deeper subject matter around cultural erasure and generational trauma- allowing her work to alchemize painful self-realizations and life lessons. .
