This month, join artist Shawna Moulton as she leads a hands-on workshop in plaster casting, inspired by the evocative work of exhibiting artist Andrea Chung. Participants will have the chance to create personal sculptures, learning to mold and cast hands to produce detailed and expressive artworks. Under Shawna's expert guidance, you'll explore the beauty and complexity of the human form, forging a deep, personal connection to the art-making process. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to materialize your artistic vision and celebrate the human body through sculpture.
Shawna Moulton is a multi-disciplinary artist and art educator based in South Florida. She has several years of experience working in museum education departments such as the Museum of Contemporary Art (North Miami), the Norton Museum of Art, the Young At Art Museum, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts Museum. The artworks she creates reflect her search for identity through her heritage as an immigrant in America, with deep connections to the Caribbean rooted in the richness of the African Diaspora. She believes that diverse stories are essential to creating a more just world for people to be seen and represented, and this is something she is deeply committed to manifesting through her art. Her work includes life-size paper-casting figures, illustrations on handmade paper, and watercolor paintings reflecting her journey into motherhood.
