Robby Moore was born and currently resides in Beckley, West Virginia. He is a mixed media artist and graduated with a Bachelor of Art degree in Studio Arts and a minor in Theatre from Concord University. Moore has exhibited his work and curated exhibitions since 1999. He is a theatrical director and has also worked professionally as a scenic designer/artist, costumer, actor, technician and marionette puppeteer.

Moore’s work layers simple techniques and materials; mixing media to build patina. Physically, the work is a tribute to Appalachian traditions like resourcefulness, ingenuity, saving and nostalgia. He uses theatrical language, coded icons and childhood memories from southern West Virginia to make crafty objects presented as paintings. Currently Moore’s work is about isolation, obligation, time and celebration.
