Artist Statement:

My paintings and sculptural work engage with themes of environmental stewardship, sustainability, and the complex interplay between humans and the natural world. Crafted from natural and locally sourced materials, my work explores the intricate balance between human connection to landscapes and the ecological impact of human activity. By weaving myth, memory, and meaning into my artistic process, I examine the dual role of landscapes as both cultural anchors and sites of environmental exploitation.

My practice is grounded in a philosophy of reciprocity with nature, emphasizing sustainable methods and honoring the materials with which I work. By fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment, my art seeks to inspire reflection on humanity’s intrinsic link to nature and the urgency of sustainable relationships with the land. My work serves as both a celebration of the natural world and a call to reevaluate our collective responsibilities toward it.

Bio:

Moey Hewitt is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tallahassee, Florida, whose work explores the intersections of ecology, material culture, and social systems. Hewitt received her MFA at Florida State University, creating expanded forms of painting, sculpture, and installations that merge natural and synthetic materials to investigate the entanglement of human and nonhuman worlds. Informed by ecofeminism, intersectional environmentalism, and posthumanist thought, her practice reimagines landscape through hybrid ecologies that challenge colonial and technological narratives of progress. 

Hewitt has exhibited at the Lagrange Art Museum, Jones-Carter gallery, FSU’s Museum of Fine Arts, LeMoyne Arts, Working Method Contemporary, and the UCF Art Gallery, and their work has been featured in EcoTheo Review, Beyond Words Magazine and Magazine 1. She has received a scholarship from the Oak Spring Garden Foundation and won the Excellence in the Visual Arts award as well as the Andy McLachlin Memorial Award from Florida State University. Hewitt was also nominated for the Dedalus Foundation Fellowship and accepted to the 2026 ArtFields competition, further acknowledging their contributions to contemporary ecological and process-based art practices.
