Zoe Elena Moldenhauer is a Brooklyn-based artist who works in collage, printmaking, drawing, and found objects, building intricate maps around a fictional alphabet she invented in 2017. The project grows out of her transracial Guatemalan adoption, using invented sentence structures and syntax to explore absent heritage, language, and identity. She holds a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (2019) and an MA from New York University (2022), and her work was featured in New American Paintings' Northeast issue in February 2021. She keeps a studio at Brooklyn Art Cluster Studios, is a founding member of the artist collective TELEPORTAL, and in March 2020 founded The Aerogramme Center for Arts and Culture, an online platform that has since presented virtual exhibitions, a quarterly art and literary magazine, and interviews featuring artists and writers from around the world.

Combining multimedia with Nahuatl, the Nazca geoglyphs, and cave paintings from Brazil Zoë uses her alphabet as a tool to create identity and research her ancestry. She received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2019 and an MA from New York University in 2022. She is the founder of The Aerogramme Center for Arts and Culture—an online platform providing opportunities to artists and writers founded in March 2020.
