AboutTaylor Moon Castagnari

Korean-American Artist Taylor Moon Castagnari created a series of artworks that encapsulate themes of multiculturalism and belonging, identity construction, self-discovery, and play.  

“Identity Playgrounds” by Taylor Moon Castagnari is a vibrant exploration of multicultural identity, the immigrant experience, and coming-of-age through the lens of imaginative play and urban landscapes. Through digital illustrations like Playing with Toy Cars, Skyscraper Dreams (also known as Diverse as the Sand), Picturing the Past, Bound by Bojagi, and I Do Not Understand, Castagnari invites viewers to navigate themes of cultural hybridity and resilience.

This series aligns beautifully with the Bellefonte Art Museum’s mission to provide creative enrichment for individuals, families, and children by offering a deeply personal yet universally resonant narrative about heritage, identity, and imagination. Moreover,

Castagnari’s artworks have been exhibited internationally and at prestigious institutions, supporting the Museum's goal of showcasing artistic and cultural talent from outside the immediate region.
