Visit Miami's video: Art of Black Miami Podcast With Shawna Moulton

Shawna Moulton is a multi-disciplinary artist and art educator based in South Florida. She was born in Freeport, Bahamas, raised in Kingston, Jamaica, and then migrated to the United States. Ever since she discovered the magic of art, she has been manifesting her creativity in drawings, paintings, sculptures, and papermaking. In 2015, she graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. Her art journey has taken her to the Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan, where she learned traditional Japanese paper making. Through teaching and artmaking, she engages diverse communities in conversations around art and culture. Her art reflects her search for identity through her heritage as an immigrant in America with deep connections to the Caribbean and the African Diaspora. Moulton’s current work includes life-size paper-casting figures, illustrations on handmade paper, and watercolor paintings reflecting her journey into motherhood.
