Don Moore's life story reflects a strong duality that has shaped his artistic journey. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he grew up along the coast of Southern California, where he discovered his passion for drawing and painting at a young age. Despite pursuing a career in graphic design as an art and creative director for 30 years, his love for fine art persisted, and he continued to paint throughout his professional life. In 2011, Don returned to school to earn his BFA and Master's degree in Drawing and Painting from the Academy of Art in San Francisco.

Don's latest body of work is a testament to his artistic growth and exploration. He employs sacred geometry to create strong compositional grids that blend seamlessly with his expressionistic style. By using non-traditional poses and playful staging, Don creates intimate portrait paintings that capture the current moment in each person's journey. This project reflects his interest in studying the psychology of today's portrait and our need to fit in or be "liked."

Using his interest in math and content organization, Don's compositions are fragmented and abstracted through the use of sacred geometry. This approach allows for multiple views from different angles, creating a visual purpose that is an inherent part of the physical fabric of our universe.

Don's dedication to his craft has earned him widespread recognition as one of the most talented and exciting artists in western Washington. His work has been featured in galleries locally and along the west coast, and he has received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to the art world. He currently teaches art at two different colleges and continues to experiment with new techniques and materials. With his boundless creativity and infectious enthusiasm, Don is sure to remain a major force in the world of art for many years to come.
