Meet the Artist
@jazzy.historian / Hot Abolitionist / Moët McClain

Moët McClain is a self-taught multi-media collage artist specializing in creative, historical perspectives. She received her BA in History and Social and Criminal Justice and uses formal education, paired with lived experience, to add a new perspective to both the art world and historical record. Trained by a public historian at Coe College, the artist realized the significance of sharing history education beyond the academic setting and turned to art as the most accessible medium. With centuries of familial roots in Oklahoma and a decade of living in Dallas at the base of her upbringing, the 24 year old artist now works to share her story with audiences in the Pacific Northwest. Moët is an emerging artist who was just recently discovered in March 2025. Her work was first exhibited in the Annual Womens’ Exhibit with Gallery Onyx and is currently showing at Onyx for the 20th Annual Juried Exhibit. She is currently working on a series of collages to honor her history as a Black Cherokee Freedman who grew up in a neighborhood established by survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Utilizing paper collage as her medium of choice, Moët crafts new views of Black American life in Oklahoma through folk art.
