Moontree is the creative work of multimedia visual and literary artist, Emily van Lidth de Jeude.

Although I studied mostly painting, printmaking, and mixed-media sculpture, my creativity spills into just about every medium. My work has been described as messy, rough, honest, and emotional. It tends toward installation, performance, and books, and is often political, or community-centred.

I am interested in the impressions that past experience and heredity leave on us and on our existence as earth-dwelling social animals. Also for this reason, natural cycles and circular design find their way into quite a bit of my work. I am greatly influenced by expressionism and the natural sciences, as well as mythology. I find inspiration and joy in growing and wildcrafting medicinal plants as well as in the rural lifestyle I and my family lead. I am a mother and unschooler of two children, and an avid singer of traditional ballads.
