Florence Moonan is a visual artist working in acrylics and mixed media. She was born in Trenton, New Jersey and raised in Lambertville, a small river town further north. She has an intuitive approach to creating art in a contemporary abstract painterly style. Her expressive works frequently develop into a series. She currently lives and paints in her home studio in the Borough of Stockton.

Moonan's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including Middlesex County Museum, Ellarslie, The Trenton City Museum; Atelier Fine Art Gallery, Frenchtown; Rock Paper Scissors Gallery, Asbury Park; Philadelphia Sketch Club; MonRho Gallery, Texas; Firenze Gallery, Connecticut, The Main Street Gallery, New York, and The Soviet Exchange Exhibition, Moscow, USSR. In October 2006 she was invited to become a member of Artists' Gallery in Lambertville.

Her work is held in many private collections and is in the permanent collection of The College of New Jersey and the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission. She has received awards from Phillips Mill, Ellarslie Open, Art International, and others. She is featured in Doris Brandes' book, Artists of the River Towns.

She received a BFA, summa cum laude from The College of New Jersey where she was inducted into Phi Kappa Phi and Golden Key International Honour Society.
