Melody Jean Moulton (b.1980) is a self-taught artist from California. While born and raised in Humboldt County, she has called San Diego home since 2002. All of her paper collage work is cut by hand and is largely intuition based. Letting go of expectations and going with her gut has proven to be her most potent path of creating. 

In July of 2020, amidst the height of the global pandemic, Moulton took a huge risk and left her part-time bartending gig to open Trash Lamb Gallery, an unconventionally-curated art gallery and gift shop located in the historic South Park neighborhood of San Diego. Trash Lamb Gallery is more than just a space for art; it's a sanctuary for unexpected creativity and community engagement. Featuring a diverse roster of local, national, and international artists across various genres and mediums, Trash Lamb Gallery serves as a vibrant hub for artistic expression and cultural exchange.

Moulton's own artwork has garnered attention beyond the walls of Trash Lamb Gallery, with exhibitions at other esteemed venues such as La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, La Matadora Gallery in Joshua Tree, Brassworks Gallery in Portland, and Baton Rouge Gallery in Louisiana.

Through her distinctive artistic voice and unwavering commitment to authenticity, Melody Jean Moulton brings together an unconventionally-curated roster of artists to make up the unapologetic magic that is Trash Lamb.
