A
renaissance woman who has worked in top grade organizations in fashion,
stage design and window display, on the faculties of Yale Graduate
School of Drama, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of
Kansas City, Moore's work is now represented in an assortment of
museums and university collections. She is an officer or board member
on several of the country's most prestigious non-profit art organizations.
Having
studied painting earlier with such diverse masters as hard edge
pioneer, Paul Feeley at Bennington College and Colorist, Henry
Hensche at the Cape Cod School of Art, her professional painting
career began in the 1960's.
An
experienced draughtsman, a loosely impressionistic colorist,
and well informed in classical anatomy and composition, Fay became
the first woman to receive recognition as a "Sports Artist".
Her focus and success with outstanding collectors became centered
on the panoply of thoroughbred racing and resulted in a number
of important mural commissions for racetracks and related corporations
across the country.
In
easel-scale work of recent years, her signature style of many
layered inks, watercolors, gouaches and pastels has attracted
many feature articles and significant awards. Moore's work is
available in originals only. The artists explains, "In the personal
technique I have developed, the inks and watercolors are stained
deep into the absorbency of pastel cloth, canvas, or untreated
luan mahogany panels. Next, a middle layer is developed of opaque
gouache. Over this textured surface the faceted grains of pure
pigment create a structural third dimension (actually measurable
in micrometers). This is a quality that no printing technology
can possibly reproduce."
By
now the market for Fay Moore's work in estate auctions and other
secondary sales has confirmed their investment quality.
