ABOUT THE CURATORS
Kong Moua is an emerging artist from Fresh Eye Arts. Working mostly in graphite and ink, his work is intricate and meticulous. Moua creates worlds within worlds that lead the viewer to create their own narrative for the complex scenes. Moua is co-curating this exhibition with Lauren Hughes and Chloe Russell, The Show Gallery Lowertown’s exhibition advisory team. Hughes is a screen printer and videographer with a BFA from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Russell is an illustrator and textile artist with a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Both work at Fresh Eye Arts/MSS Creative Arts, a progressive art studio supporting artists with disabilities.
