About Jay Moore

Born and raised in Colorado, Jay Moore grew-up hiking and fishing the streams near his childhood home in the Rocky Mountain Foothills. That deep love and appreciation for the wilderness filled his senses at an early age and today colors his life's work. Never content with what he'll find along the road, Moore can often be found hiking the backcountry of the Western states, Canada and Alaska in search of the intimate landscapes for the oil paintings that he has become renown.
Moore's paintings are part of major public and private collections that include the Denver Art Museum; the Pioneer Museum, Colorado; Secretary of Commerce, Don Evans; Guarantee Bank and Trust; Joe Cocker; and Hogan & Hartson, Washington, DC. He has been featured in numerous publications such as Southwest Art Magazine, American Artist, Colorado Expressions, Wildlife Art, Cowboys and Indians, the Denver Post

and the Rocky Mountain News. Moore's work has received honors at the Arts for the Parks show, and he has had many successful one man shows.
This recent body of work, Etchings of the American West, is a departure for Moore who says it is a way challenging himself, pushing his boundaries. By following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Rembrandt, James McNeil Whistler, Andres Zorn and Carl Rungius, Moore has discovered the purity and excitement of telling a story of the land in simple lines inscribed on a copperplate and pulled through a press. He has worked with a master printer maker to create this series of landscapes based on his oils painted over the last several years. We hope you enjoy Moore's intimate glimpses into the Rocky Mountain region.
