About Mia Luna

My name is Maria Moscato, the founder of Mia Luna. My brand name and artist signature were inspired by my home studio in Bologna, Italy: made from the ancient Roman building stone selenite—selenite is names after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon which gave Bologna its name as "city of the moon" and "city of silver".

 

I am an artist, educator, and businesswoman with international experience. I hold university degrees in Fine Art and a Master’s in Design, along with additional studies in sustainable architecture, construction, and building.

My artistic portfolio spans organic holistic lifestyle clothing made in Italy, acrylic paintings, and ceramics—all infused with my passion for nature, travel, and timeless craftsmanship.

Beyond art and design, I am also an international speaker on the construction and design of water vessels for Genesis-PHTA. I offer consulting services to help design custom pools tailored to you and your family’s unique vision.

Born and raised in San Diego, California, I live a life between continents and beyond. My art is deeply influenced by my global travels, each journey leaving an imprint that you’ll find woven into my work.
