HELLO FRIENDS!
During my weird year of being out of commission, I accidentally let my website expire! R.I.P. moore-art.com. I am still working on getting back to a creative life so I haven't yet launched a new site. I have been brainstorming ideas for a new URL and welcome any suggestions!

'From Ikea to I-me-a'
I was tickled to hear that one of my paintings was included in an article for The Inquirer last week! The online version can be viewed here (The second image of the gallery features my painting 'Red Paper' in an inventive interior by local designer Naomi Stein).
Welcome back to the blog!
I recently regained my energy after almost a year of illness and am really itching to get back to my creative life. I have had ideas bursting out of me and now I'll finally get to see them in person!!
It has been a really strange and difficult year, but I think the distance I gained from my creative work will prove valuable. I have a perspective I could have never earned from continuing to build off of my last concepts. During my hiatus, I completed a few simple little commissions that ended up being surprisingly challenging. I was working with different materials than I am comfortable with and the painting style was totally unusual for me. Those experiences opened up my range of ideas for new projects and reminded me that I am an artist of many mediums. I am still focused on oil painting, but have a renewed curiosity for mixing it up like I did in the early years.
I've never found myself in a position like this before. I sort of have a clean slate. All of my older work is now in the homes of customers or friends and I have a studio free of influence from the past...and I am really happy about it.
I took a look through my image archive today and wanted to post some work from different phases of my evolution...Here's a brief review of the last 5 years!
