Artist Bio

Darcy Scanlon Moulton is an artist living and working in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Her work explores humanity’s isolation and spiritual disparity from nature in the modern world. She uses emotive contemporary landscapes and dark single subject realism of flora and fauna, drawing on their innate ghostliness with monochromatic and limited palettes. She hopes to inspire a yearning for connections to the natural world and a sense of human responsibility to our ecosystem that we so readily dismiss and manipulate to our own advantage.

An active member of her community, she currently serves as a board member on both the Friends of the Ipswich Public Library and the Ipswich Cultural Council.

Artist Statement

I am interested in what happens when we face darkness or death. When we peer into the dark places, what we find with in ourselves there. How people react when faced with darkness or death. What is the initial reaction? Are you drawn in? Are you repulsed? Are you saddened? Are you intrigued? How do these reactions correlate to our options of the world? Our interactions in every day life?
