David Moore: Potter/Oil Painter

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.
