Julia Moore

Julia Seabrook Moore is a lifelong South Carolina artist. She paints in acrylics, cold wax, oil sticks and ink. Her colorful, textured paintings range from representational works to abstracted images. Currently, Julia paints at Studio Carlisle and is the managing artist at Over the Mantel Gallery.

"The revelation of what the canvas becomes after it is adorned with my shapes and colors is the reason that I love to paint. It is exhilarating to command the emerging and completing of a work that is not only a pleasure to view but also emotionally powerful. My goal is to create paintings that are not instantly recognizable to all viewers. Rather, that the viewer might wonder at the content and find an explanation that is inherent to him or her."

Julia earned a BA and MAT from the University of South Carolina in art and subsequently worked in retail marketing and as an educator.
