Welcome to Canopy: Artist Chad Rea

Let’s give a warm welcome to Lockhart multidisciplinary artist and @lockh.arthouse curator, Chad Rea, new to the Canopy community! Visit them in Studio #202 Building 2 during Open Canopy every first Saturday from 1-4pm ⭐️

About the Artist:

Often paradoxical in nature, Chad Rea’s works draw on pop, street, folk, and punk aesthetics to transmute the trauma and pain of our world into expressions of joy, connection, and hope. Inspired by his own healing, Chad’s wish is that his art will move others to seek out their own imperfect truths, finding all that advertising tries to sell, already present within themselves.

In the Spotlight: Kaitlin Maud of Maud and Moon

Kaitlin Maud’s mission is to help get great ideas into the world.

She is a researcher, artist, and soon-to-be licensed Art Therapist operating out of a small trailer studio at Canopy called Maud & Moon. She loves to teach and speak at events such as TEDx and SXSW, and can be heard on a number of podcasts.

There are 3 things that guide her work (and life):

➜ You can design the future.

➜ Inspiration is created, not found.

➜ Intuition is a valid data point.

Prior to becoming an art therapist, Kaitlin spent 15 years in the private sector as a strategist and design researcher working with brands like Beats by Dre, Taco Bell, and Nike. After enrolling in grad school, Kaitlin worked as an intern at SAGE Studio. She loved working with the SAGE artists so much, she decided to stay at Canopy! 

Since joining the community, she researched and published her thesis on the use of Art Therapy in clinical psychedelics, and has another paper in peer review on the therapeutic role of art activism with asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border in Juarez.

Kaitlin is currently finishing her hours toward clinical licensure working at a middle school in South Austin. Starting in Spring 2025, she will begin taking individual art therapy clients at Maud and Moon and offering group art therapy workshops in the community. 

Visit maudandmoon.com to join the interest list, and swing by Trailer 9 on Fridays and Saturdays to shop tools for nurturing your inner artist! You may also tour during Canopy’s monthly studio tour on the first Saturday of every month from 1-4pm.
