Michael Moe is a Pacific
Northwest artist who has been involved in art for the past forty years.
He was
raised in Snohomish, Washington, and was influenced by his high school
art teacher. In the mid-70's, Moe
pursued his art in college and received his BA in Art Education from
Central Washington University. He has taught and
produced works in drawing, painting, printing, sculpture, and jewelry
making.
Currently
Moe is creating works of art that are abstract in form. The
composition is complex, which denotes his personal adventure in life.
He views each of his pieces as an expression of his own
existence. Simple in nature, one is drawn to the layering of
texture, color, and shape in Moe's work. Complex fields of biomorphic
and geometric shapes captivate the viewer's visual sense. His
works are a tribute to beauty, but also to the pushing and pulling of
uncontrollable forces that we try to control, shape, or overcome.
