Moore's
works conjures images from bawdy brothels decked in sumptuous red
velvet to whisky-soaked cabarets brimming with lusty jazz strains.
Self-taught
and painting mainly with her fingers, Moore creates an atmosphere of
nightlife, good times and fleeting romances. Her images bring to life a
world at once sensuous, sophisticated, sometimes sweet yet always
alluring.
Femmes
fatales smolder with long-fingered hands dangling cigarettes and
cocktails to their lush lacquered lips. Glamorous and vulnerable, they
contemplate a noir netherworld somewhere between dusk and twilight.
And
these decadent dames get around. Moore’s work is exhibited and
collected from New York, Miami, and Chicago to Seattle, New Orleans,
Canada, France and Italy. Moore’s fiery independence shows through in
these characters, who all seem to have their own checkered pasts, drawn
from deep within the artist’s own fantasies and realities, past and
present.
