Dixie Moore at The American Center for Artists

Much of my sculpture is combination of metal and wood. Many of my paintings are acrylics and oil pastel combinations. All of my artwork reflects my travels and years I lived in the middle East. Currently, I am working on a series that reflects my experience of returning to the States. The violence, in my opinion, is worse than the Middle-East.

Biography:

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. My parents moved the family to Saudi Arabia when I was young. My mother taught the Art of Dance for 25 years. She started a school in Saudi Arabia and taught Tap, jazz and Ballet for about eleven years. I was always surrounded by art. I attended school in Cyprus, france and Switzerland. I stopped dancing my Senior year and studied theatre for a year. It wasn't until I was nineteen when I started studing Visual Arts. I finally completed my BA in Fine Arts in 1997. Since 1995 I have been working with children in the inner-city public school system in New Olreans. Not realizing that Art was cut from most American schools I decided to stay and help change the education system. Life without Art is destructive. After I complete my MFA I plan to become an EX-PAT once again. American society is much too disturbing for my psyche.
