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, Toughass Crew Pop-up Gallery, and Petra’s Art Lounge. She curated exhibitions for Studio1212, Flux Galleries, and Summit Coffee NoDa.
Through a somatic practice of art creation and collaboration, she seeks to incorporate the full spectrum of human experience. In 2020, Moon was selected to be a META Mural Residency Auditor and collaborated with four artists to create a mural documenting community needs during the pandemic. In 2021, she completed a printmaking residency with MacFly Fresh at Immersive Van Gogh. She is now on the curation team of the Talking Walls Mural Festival, regularly assists fellow muralists, and facilitates workshops and community painting events.
Since 2020, Moon has built and installed multiple pieces around Charlotte and constantly pushes her visions in more expansive, brighter directions through creative innovation. Her installations have popped up at Rail Trail Lights in 2021 + 2022, CLT Shout in 2021 + 2022, and the Charlotte International Arts Festival in 2022.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, Moon specializes in evoking childlike joy and delight through her creations. Regardless of the medium, she utilizes bold color and form to control the eye and the emotional experience. Her work alchemizes painful self-realizations and life lessons into uplifting positive fantasies, where the inner child is centered and celebrated.
I am inspired by the mysticism of our modern life - simplicity and imagination, patterns in nature and humanity, color and movement. Exploration and discovery are so imperative to my creative experience that I don’t feel a need to narrow down the mediums I play with. I use acrylics, watercolors, spray paint, resin, and even fabric, sculpture, metalwork, and recycled materials to create distinct, contemporary 2D and 3D works. My focus shifts each year to deepen my understanding of self and conception of characters and symbols, but I find myself drawn towards more immersive experiences.
Artistic creation is a form of somatic therapy that helps me find balance in my thoughts, emotions, and intentions. I believe that funneling my positive energy into a piece of art allows me to transform that energy into creative action. I leave an energetic fingerprint upon each artwork that attaches itself to the viewers. I hope to use this healing energy to raise the community’s collective frequency to one of love and respect for all sentient beings.
