About Rod Moore

Where once I was focused on painting with a realism approach, today I am inspired to capture the atmosphere, emotion and feeling that creates a sense of place. Details of the landscape give way to broader brush strokes, bolder colours and the interplay of lights and darks.

I spend endless hours on location capturing, recording and collating information to be utilised in the studio as inspiration for larger works. Studies painted en plein air stimulate the creative energies and fuel my imagination. This quest to draw inspiration from the environment around me facilitates the creative process where the work flows through me onto the canvas.

My end goal is to inspire the viewer of my work to feel a sense of awe and wonder, a spiritual connection, to the land and place we call the Sunshine Coast.
