Biography
Jo Moore is a contemporary American artist known for her distinctive visual language characterized by depth, shadow, and intricately carved surfaces. Moore's work serves as a vessel for conveying a stoic spirit, using a variety of mediums such as impasto, wax, and pigment to evoke emotional responses from her viewers.
A lifelong studio artist, Moore finds solace, meditation, and serenity in her creative process. When she works with a clear mind, she feels a sense of stillness, becoming a vessel that quietly transmits stoic energy. She believes that a painting should not only be seen but also felt. Her artistic gestures are consistent with her perceptions, forming a visual language and vocabulary that remain constant.
Moore's recent focus has been on three-dimensional canvases, where she sculpts the image before painting it. She employs a brilliant color palette to create an emotional impact on her audience. With contemporary and abstract themes as her foundation, Moore uses numerous layers of texture and impasto combined with vibrant hues to produce a sculpted surface that exudes raw energy. Her canvases function as relief sculptures, adding depth and casting shadows over the sculpted surfaces within the composition.
All of Jo Moore's works are gallery wrapped or museum profile with painted edges, sealed, acid-free, and archival, ensuring their longevity and preservation. Through her art, she continues to explore and express the profound connection between visual perception and emotional experience.

Artist Statement
Mine is a visual language, employing a visual vocabulary. My gestures remain constant with my perceptions. I believe you must not only see a painting, you must feel it as well. First I sculpt the image…then I paint it. For me, Color is alive. A life-long studio artist, my intent is to think outside the box when it comes to color, perspective, shape. I like to focus on fields of color, rather than details. My heart belongs to expression rather than a duplication of reality. I allow the paint to interpret the dynamics of my subject’s energetic ethos through vibrant use of a rich blended palette. My recent interest in highly textural surface treatments, including the use of chip stone inlay such as turquoise, coral and jasper, lends a sculptural quality to my canvases. All of my canvases are gallery wrapped with painted edges, sealed, acid-free, and archival.

Bonjour, J'adore votre univers, bonne continuation
Thank you for your comment...this is a portrait of my dearest baby Wilbur who passed. He was born to me from his Mama, Hopi, an Appaloosa...I was the first to crawl upon his back when he turned two...and he lived to be 33. He just wandered around our place like a big dog, even sticking his head in the door when he was lonely...
Wonderful portrait of the horse. Where is this horse from?
magnifique, comme habituellement bravo

The tonal variations over blue have a musical harmony. This work reminds me of Philip Glass's music. Akhenaten comes to my mind. You have great creativity. Congratulations Jo Moore.
Un beau voyage en bleu ! J'adore
Great work! I'm just a beginner, but follow me if you don't mind :)
