Meet Kaitlin

Kaitlin Maud-Moon is a mixed media artist, art-based researcher, and Art Therapist.

Across modalities Kaitlin uses art to express the ineffable. That which cannot be adequately communicated through words can be given form through mark, gesture, and image. Whether to build understanding across social groups, process traumatic experiences, or bring an idea to life — Kaitlin uses art as a vehicle to create new reality. When not working from intuition, her personal work explores dynamics of power, themes of revolution, and transpersonal ways of knowing.

In 2023 Kaitlin opened Maud and Moon, a standalone studio at the Canopy Arts Complex in East Austin. Maud and Moon is part retail, part gallery, and part creative workshop. It is open to the public during on the first Saturday of every month. Maud and Moon will open for group and individual Art Therapy services in June 2025 (waitlist sign-up).

As an art therapist, Kaitlin completed her practicum with SAGE Studio, a progressive art studio for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She is currently completing her clinical training in a middle school counseling program, supporting a caseload of high need students.

Kaitlin's thesis was published in 2024 and she recently submitted a paper for publication on the therapeutic role of art activism with asylum seekers at the border in Juarez, Mexico.

Prior to opening her studio, Kaitlin spent 15 years as a consultant in the private sector, leading consumer insights and strategy work for Fortune 100 brands and their agency partners. You can learn more about her research work here.
