Phone Website I was raised in Calgary and have spent the last 30 years in Alberta and Ontario. After a fulfilling career in broadcast journalism and corporate communications I credit my move to the beautiful Okanagan Valley and Predator Ridge as the motivation behind my shift from interpreting my world through writing, to drawing and painting. When I paint I’m totally immersed in the moment and lose many hours unaware of my surroundings focused on my canvas, the marks I make and the feelings they evoke. When the painting is finished I’m often exhausted, covered in paint but exhilarated. From beneath layers of texture and colour a story begins to emerge; apart from any intention on my behalf, and quite arresting in its intensity. I’m very grateful for the ‘stories’ I’m able to create; and the pleasure they bring to others. My work is recognized for strong expressive strokes, emotional energy and dramatic blends of colour; and can be found in national and international juried exhibitions and commercial galleries across North America. Even away from my studio I'm immersed in art as Past President of the Federation of Canadian Artists (North Okanagan Chapter), a Director of the Arts Council North Okanagan and an Elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists (Toronto, ON) and NAP Contemporary Fine Arts (USA). -Martha Moore SCA, NCFA |
