David Moore, local potter and painter, has always been drawn to earthy subjects, materials and colors. His finely crafted functional pottery, whether mugs, bowls, or casserole dishes, often display a tiny tree and moon on their surface beneath a subdued glaze.
Oil paintings of Kentucky landscapes, abandoned buildings and farm equipment are meticulously rendered in ochres, umbers, grays and greens. They are characterized by generous textural detail...and often a tiny hidden animal. His work speaks about the heart of rural Kentucky.
