Florence Moonan | Bio Website: https://florencemoonan.artspan.com Facebook: Florence Moonan Fine Art Instagram: flomo_art_nj New Jersey artist, Florence Moonan, is a contemporary mixed-media artist born in Trenton and raised in Lambertville. Her home and studio are located in Stockton where she and her husband raised four children. She worked full-time and pursued an art career at The College of New Jersey where she ultimately received a bachelor of fine arts degree summa cum laude. The driving force behind her work is a narrative drawn from her personal history, the natural world, travel experiences, and above all, music. She appeared to be headed in the direction of theater as a young member of the Lambertville Music Circus, but ideas of performing merged into painting after her father gave her a set of acrylics. Her creative process involves tapping into her instincts to create an expressive language using color and texture. The unique qualities of venetian plaster, her current medium of choice for her two-dimensional work, helps her produce layered surfaces that reveal fragmented patterns and rich textures. She enjoys upcycling ordinary materials and working in series. Moonan’s artworks have been selected for juried, invitational, solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States including Connecticut, New York and Texas. Her work has also been featured at the Monmouth Museum, Middlesex County Museum, Abington Art Center, The Gallery at The College of New Jersey, Mercer County Community College, Centenary College, Trenton City Museum, New Hope Arts Center, The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster, Aljira Center for Contemporary Arts in Newark, Prallsville Mills, Hunterdon Art Museum, Maryland Federation of Art, Chautauqua Institution, Norristown Arts Center, Philadelphia City Hall, George Segal Gallery, the Pennswood Art Gallery and numerous others. In addition, her work was selected for the 2017-2018 New Jersey Emerging Artists Series at Monmouth Museum in Lincroft, NJ.
