Dr Carolyn Moon BDes, M.D.

Dr. Moon is a Korean-Canadian contemporary artist and psychiatrist based in the UK. Her work moves fluidly between art and medicine, united by a deep commitment to raising awareness of mental health and challenging the stigma that surrounds it.

About

With an early background with a design degree in Canada, Dr. Moon first established herself as an abstract fine artist and designer. Her creative path later expanded into medicine, where she completed her medical degree and now practices as a psychiatrist in the UK.

Bridging these two worlds, Dr. Moon uses her art as a powerful medium for education, empathy, and social change. Her practice embodies a rare harmony of disciplines—where aesthetics, compassion, and advocacy meet. Through exhibitions, teaching, and public engagement, she continues to inspire dialogue, foster understanding, and create spaces of visibility and dignity for those living with mental illness.
