Sarah Moore brings a multi-disciplinary background in architecture and public health to her creative practice, focusing on the impact that connecting within nature has on our creativity, health, and well-being. Sarah earned an M.Arch degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 2012, and was a Danforth Scholar for the duration of her study there. She is based in San Antonio, TX by way of Knoxville, TN.
"Bright Sides" is a collection of floral paintings about white space. In each painting, some of the white ground of the panel is left unpainted, or shines through thin glazes of pale color. This decision challenged me to be more discerning about value before beginning each painting, since I knew that I wouldn't be able to "fix it" later by painting over the brightest areas. Working with higher keys than I typically do was also a welcome invitation to focus on light during the darkest months of the year.
