David Moore

I immersed myself with the wonderful fluidity of impressionistic watercolor painting after a career in design and creative direction. Most of the subjects are of places visited while traveling with my wife in Europe and the U.S. The energy and bustle of a street in Paris, London, Rome , New York, Chicago and Los Angeles exude much excitement, spontaneity and inspiration. Sometimes I try to balance that energy with subjects of nature and peaceful simplicity, whether it be a high desert vista in Joshua Tree or a placid frozen stream in Michigan. Watercolor for me just seems like the perfect medium for these expressions. Hopefully, you will enjoy my paintings which are a reflection of mood, atmosphere and places captured in time.

After a first year at Purdue University, I graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois, where I studied graphic design and received the Student Of The Year award in the last year of study. While at the Academy, I studied under the guidance of master watercolorist, Irving Shapiro, AWS, and his priciples of art and watercolor painting still provide me with inspiration and direction.

I have exhibited in various shows and curated exhibits in the Midwest and have paintings in private collections in Tuscany, Italy, Chicago, Nantucket and Florida. I am a full tribal member of the New River Catawba tribe in North Carolina.
