Profile image for Melody Jean Moulton

Melody Jean Moulton

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

Melody Jean Moulton (b.1980) is a self-taught artist from California. While born and raised in Humboldt County, she has called San Diego home since 2002. All of her paper collage work is cut by hand and is largely intuition based. Letting go of expectations and going with her gut has proven to be her most potent path of creating. Driven by the freedom from preconceived notions and surrendering to her instincts, Moulton's creative process unfolds organically, guided by an innate sense of exploration and discovery. Her artwork embodies a surreal and dreamlike quality, intricately weaving together disparate elements to draw you in as it invokes a sense of intrigue and wonderful confusion. In July of 2020, amidst the height of the global pandemic, Moulton took a huge risk and left her part-time bartending gig to open Trash Lamb Gallery, an unconventionally-curated art gallery and gift shop located in the historic South Park neighborhood of San Diego. Trash Lamb Gallery is more than just a space for art; it's a sanctuary for unexpected creativity and community engagement. Featuring a diverse roster of local, national, and international artists across various genres and mediums, Trash Lamb Gallery serves as a vibrant hub for artistic expression and cultural exchange. Moulton's artwork has garnered attention beyond the walls of Trash Lamb Gallery, with exhibitions at other esteemed venues such as La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, La Matadora Gallery in Joshua Tree, Brassworks Gallery in Portland, and Baton Rouge Gallery in Louisiana. Through her distinctive artistic voice and unwavering commitment to authenticity, Melody Jean Moulton continues to captivate audiences with her surreal collage art, inviting them on a journey of unusual insight and enjoyably-strange imagination.
