OUR CREATIVE EVOLUTION
Before focusing on visual art, Moon spent nearly 20 years exploring sound healing and music as forms of emotional connection and creative expression.
His transition into intuitive abstract painting brought a new dimension to his practice. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas and heavy paper, Moon began translating the emotional qualities of sound into bold colors, layered textures, and expressive compositions.
His artistic journey reached an important milestone in 2024 when he earned a certification in Postwar Abstract Painting through the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
This educational achievement helped propel his continued exploration of abstract expressionism, gallery exhibitions, and relationships with a growing community of art collectors.
Today, Moon's work bridges the worlds of visual art, sound, spiritual inquiry, and intuitive creativity.
I am thankful for this opportunity to share these works and feel truly grateful to have found my calling through this gift I stumbled upon. I call my painting practice Holographic Heart Healing because it has been so healing emotionally for me and that is the goal I have when working on every piece. My belief is that the world we want and need is unlocked through opening our heart.
I began painting as a way of working through traumatic life experiences, grief, depression, and never would have imagined that I would be so transformed. I've shared these works to help others to do the same. I'd love to open my own community gallery one day to serve underrepresented people and give workshops to guide people through healing abstract painting sessions. By removing objects, shape, form, and words, the viewer is left with only their heart to interpret the experience they're receiving.
I ask people to let their heart choose the piece for them. I don't include titles until the viewer has selected their painting. I've seen truly incredible things happen when folks allow themselves the opportunity to be led using just their heart. Every piece is a healing message for your heart so it's beautiful to learn what made them choose their piece and how the message fits into their experience. It gives them the trust they need to navigate the rest of their life knowing their heart knows the way!
Much love and many thanks,
Moon
