About the Artist :: R. Kirk Moore
Originally a New Jersey native, Kirk Moore has been captivated by the coast of Maine for more than 25 years and now finds himself a Mid-Coast resident. The strength of color and form inherent in his work manifest the clarity of his vision as well as his appreciation of the Maine light on a vast array of subjects. He is well known for waterfront images which may include a raft of dinghies, working boats, docks, pilings and bridges, or elegant sailing vessels on shimmering waters. He may just as adeptly impart the cool shade of a canopied lane or the warmth of a sun-drenched doorstep on a mellow autumn afternoon. Kirk studied at Georgetown University, George Washington University, American University, and in Aix-en-Provence, France. His work has been featured in shows in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Massachusetts and Maine. Kirk’s paintings are now in collections throughout the United States, England, Ireland, Switzerland, France and Bermuda.
