Susan Moore was born in Burbank, California and grew up in Studio City. She received her BA in Fine Art from California State University Northridge. She now resides in Reno, Nevada. Susan has been an artist all her life, and has made her living in graphic design, art direction and currently, decorative wall finishes. She is now focusing on her fine art. She has worked in many mediums, but really enjoys the immediacy of acrylics. Susan’s work mostly resembles impressionistic landscapes. Using impressionist brush strokes and vibrant color schemes she works to encapsulate the mood of her subject.. Finding the perfect imperfections she is able to enhance the varied landscapes and still lifes of her subject matter. Moore finds that the process is a labor of love that allows her to rework her pieces until she has captured the emotion properly. -- Valley Voice
