Folk Artist, Alan Moore has always incorporated “junk” into his artwork. Growing up Alan watched his mother throw away old shoeboxes, paper towel tubes, and toothpaste boxes. Alan rescued the items and created unique pieces of art. In his teen years, Alan painted on recycled papers and old wood for art classes and personal projects. A couple decades later, he is still salvaging, chopping, and assembling other peoples’ trash to make his very distinctive treasures.

Some audiences may label Alan’s art “green” for his use of mostly recycled materials. Ask Alan and he’ll simply refer to his work as “junk” or “folk” art. Less concerned with the name of his process, Alan continues to have fun creating and watching the smiles on viewer’s faces when their eyes first meet his pieces.

The title of Alan’s collection is in honor of his upcoming thirteenth wedding anniversary. Alan dedicates the exhibit to his wife, Lori, and says of her, “She is the love of my life. Each piece represents a time, a place, or a season we have experienced together, as well as our hopes and dreams for the future.” To see Moores creative process and learn more about his amaizng faimly check out Mercedes Rodgers blog its all in the process...

You can meet Alan in person at the opening reception on May 25th, or sign up for one of hisworkshops where he will teach you how to make your own “junk” art.
