Where the earth becomes art
Our Philosophy
The Art of Beauty
At House of Moen, every work begins with the earth itself. We paint with the highest quality pigments, many of them ground from real stones and crystals, so that each color carries the true mineral brilliance of the natural world rather than a manufactured imitation.
This is the art of beauty. Raw earth becomes light, stone becomes color, and the natural world is caught and held in each piece. We believe beauty is a purpose and not an ornament, and our mission is simple: to beautify the world, one piece at a time.
"I want people to feel like they're looking at something alive, like the earth itself is just beneath the surface, still moving."
Hannah Friel Moen
The Work
Medium &
Method
Each piece is built through a labor-intensive layering process that can take weeks, sometimes months, to complete.
Stone & Crystal Pigment
Hannah works in the highest-grade pigments drawn straight from the earth: minerals and crystals like lapis lazuli, ground for their color the way paint was made for centuries. Each hue carries the true brilliance of the stone it came from, never a synthetic imitation.
Gold & Metal Leaf
Real gold, copper, and silver leaf are worked into the surface, catching light and shifting throughout the day. The metallic inclusions give each piece an aliveness that changes with the viewer's position and the room's lighting.
Layered Pigment
Pigments are poured, tilted, and manipulated across the surface, then built up session over session. Hannah's work began fully in resin and now lives most often on canvas, with resin still returning when a piece calls for its glass-clear depth. Each layer rewards extended looking with something new.
Inside the Atelier
The Studio
On the work itself
The work begins in nature: the textures, shapes, and colors of natural phenomena. Unique colors lead the way, relationships you don't see every day; I follow them more than I direct them. The finished piece looks like something from the cosmos or the earth, abstract but familiar, as if you've seen it somewhere in the natural world and can't place where.
On material and craft
The materials matter as much as the image. The paints are luxury-grade, some made from real crystal gemstones, so the surface carries light differently than anything synthetic. Every layer is built by hand, and no two pours behave the same way twice. The depth you feel is real: layers beneath layers, each visible through the last.
On what the work is for
A piece should bring inspiration, beauty, and joy. It should pull you in and reward the looking. Art isn't decoration, it's the soul of a space. I want people at every stage of collecting to find a way in.
