Moon is a fiber artist who paints and a painter who works in fabric. “To look at one of Ellen’s field paintings is to also understand the intricacies of her embroidered work. Often drawn by the immediate presence of a place as much as by the memories of fields she played in as a child, Ellen draws inspiration from the small interweaving of detail in nature. These intricacies are sewn into larger and expanding images that will eventually become a jacket, painting or small embroidery,” according to a statement.

“What characterizes Ellen Moon’s work is an attention to the small parts that make our universe, the unsung heroes of tufts of grass or grasshoppers in midflight. In short the very elements that we are coming to understand are so vital for the survival of our planet as we currently know it,” according to the statement.
