Statement
Moore’s Texas roots and California influence have culminated into her current body of work. Often inspired by Ed Ruscha’s work Every Building on the Sunset Strip and A Few Palm Trees, Moore sources the images that influence her paintings from many car rides, walks, and hikes up to overlooks. She explores terrain & architectural characteristics to illuminate the underlying nostalgia and aura of a location. Marfa, TX, a favorite pit stop during the long road trips back and forth from Texas to California, also holds space as a source of continued inspiration for Moore. As a homage to Hollywood, Moore also finds visual influence for her work in the world of film; particularly from visionaries such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Alfred Hitchcock.
