ARTIST BIO

Nancy L. Moore

Born in Ajax, Ontario I grew up in a household where art and creativity were always encouraged. I credit my late father, Wayne Moore, an artist who loved nature, with giving me a solid foundation on which to build. Truth be told, both of my parents were quite creative and always encouraged being artistic; lucky for me.

I graduated from George Brown (Toronto) Graphic Design Program and since 1997, I’ve been the co-owner of Seastar Images Inc. a graphics/signage company that services the GTA and surrounding area. Although I continue to be involved in the graphics industry, my real passion has, and always will be, fine art.

I further my artistic development by attending a variety of workshops and classes. I feel one never knows what path one’s artistic future might take, so it’s important to learn new skills.

As an artist, I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to paint and draw without boundaries. While i enjoy experimenting with different mediums, I have been drawn to working in acrylics lately. My style is largely experimental, with an emphasis on abstracting nature and landscapes. I never set out to replicate an image, but instead, strive to convey a mood or evoke an emotion using loose lines, rich textures and bold colours.

I feel it’s important to contribute to the artistic community. For the past six years, I have donated paintings for the annual Drawing for Art Fundraiser, at the Station Gallery in Whtby, Ontario. I have donated artwork to the Art of Giving charity auction organized by United Way and York Region to benefit those in need in 2017 and 2020. I was also invited to be the guest feature artist and I donated artwork for the 32nd Annual Sportsman Night run by the Cobourg Rotary Club in February 2017.

I was proud to donate my first Remembrance Day poppy print, The Poignance of Poppies, for my good friend’s FUNdation, @scgfundation, who donated the proceeds to those who served our country. Prints are still available.

I enjoy showing across southern Ontario including galleries in Cobourg, Port Perry, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Collingwood, London and, of course, Toronto.
