Jennifer Moon (1973- ) is a conceptual artist living in Los Angeles. She was born in Lafayette, Indiana and completed her BFA at UCLA and Master's at Art Center College of Design.

Moon had her first solo art exhibition in 1996 and her work was shown regularly up to 2002. After she received her graduate degree from Art Center, Moon suffered from drug abuse and was sentenced to 18 months in the Valley State Prison for Women in 2008, following several attempted robberies.

The interdisciplinary artist's work focuses on self-empowerment through a movement she calls "The Revolution". Moon blends political theory, self-help, and fantasy, through the Revolution in performances, videos, writing, and sculpture to share her unconventional vision with the world.

Moon published two books in 2012 as part of and exhibition at Commonwealth and Council, a Los Angeles art exhibition space: Principle 1 of The Revolution Definition of Abundance (2012) and Where I Learned of Love (2012). As part of her contribution to the 2014 iteration of the Hammer Museum's Made in LA Biennial exhibition, Moon published The Book of Eros (2014).

Since 2012 she has had a monthly radio show on KCHUNG Radio titled Adventures Within where she covers topics such as love, body issues, race, and politics.

From 2014-2015 Moon installed six video cameras in her home and car that broadcast twenty four hours a day to the public space of the Equitable Life Building lobby.

She was the recipient of a 2013 CCF Fellowship and the Moan public recognition award at the 2014 Made in LA exhibition at the Hammer Museum.
