About the Artist

Stephanie Soyoung Moon (S.S. Moon) is a contemporary painter specializing in abstract optical art that investigates the movement of light and the perception of motion within the structure of the grid. Based in New Jersey and shaped by her Korean heritage, Moon earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts and continued her studies at The Art Students League of New York. With a background in graphic design, she draws from mosaics, digital pixels, and geometric systems to create intricate optical compositions that explore rhythm, vibration, and visual transformation, where subtle shifts in color and pattern create the illusion of movement. Her work is included in permanent collections in New Jersey, New York, and Arizona, including the Dwight-Englewood School collection.
