Becky Moon (b. 2002, Seoul) is a painter based in New York City whose paintings explore the structure of consciousness across all forms of life: humans, animals, trees, and beyond. Each visual element is built through meticulous brushstrokes driven by wonder and curiosity. She draws inspiration from neuroscience, natural history, and the philosophy of perception. She is pursuing her MFA in Visual Arts at Columbia University. Previously, she earned a BFA in Art with a Second Major in Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis and attended Yale Norfolk School of Art. Her most recent solo exhibitions were held at Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis, MO, and at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.

Moon’s most recent body of work is a collapsed snapshot of natural history: plants remembering how to begin, animals taking a leap of faith from water onto land. Structures emerge through strange organs of growth, echoing maps of life before it decided what shape it wanted to become. In the Anthropocene, I hope these paintings serve as a reminder of the tenacity of life that has sustained us through billions of years since the birth of the first cell. With every living organism, we share a collective evolutionary memory and ecological responsibility.
