Barbara Moore
Waycross, GA
Barbara Moore was
born and grew up in Atlanta. Having said since she was four years
old “I am going to be an artist”, she began her formal art
instruction in high school. She continued at the Atlanta Art
Institute following graduation.
Marriage and
family responsibilities refocused her energy until 1958, when the
family moved to Dublin, GA. Here, Barbara taught children’s art
classes for the Dublin recreation dept. In 1960, the Moore’s moved
to Waycross, giving Barbara the opportunity to study with William
Hendrix, a well-known St. Simons Island artist. Mr. Hendrix was a
major influence in developing her work. Barbara also worked with
students in the Waycross public school system and from 1970-1975 she
served as public relations coordinator for the Okefenokee Regional
Library System.
Barbara has been
active in workshops with well-know professional artists. She
rediscovered her interest in watercolor, and she used this fluid
medium in an impressionistic style. She prefers to paint people
engaged in everyday activities and uses line and color to involve
the viewer in their story. Chickens are another favorite subject
because of the color, movement, and engaging “people personalities.”
Barbara lives in
Waycross, where she continues to paint and teach classes in
watercolor.
