Biography from a third party submitted on 12/22/2005:
| Pat Moberley-Moore’s work is about exploring emotions. She does
so in a sculptural format, often using clay that she fires herself, or
that, through the foundry process becomes a bronze limited
edition. Currently, she is adding welding to her working
vocabulary.
Moberley-Moore graduated from the University of Houston with a B.F.A. cum
laude and a BS in Education, summa cum laude. Her major was
in jewelry and metalwork. She has been a judge for scholastic art
competitions and an artist-in-residence in the public schools, a
faculty member of The Galveston Art Center on the Strand, and a
co-director and curator courses juried exhibits both in and out of the
state.
Her commissioned work includes two sculptural pieces for Memorial
Presbyterian Church, a bas-relief bronze commemorating Texas Gulf High
School, and various wall, table and jewelry pieces.
She has recently completed a commissioned bronze edition of The Reader,
which is being used to raise money toward a chair in literacy at the
University of Kentucky. Her bronze award designed for The
Foundation for Interfaith Religious Ministries, resides with such
notables as Rita Coolidge and Waylon Jennings. A second award, Sustaining Presence,
designed to be awarded for “humanitarian works”, has been presented to
former First Ladies, Roslyn Carter and Nancy Reagan. The award
was also presented to First Lady Bush in February, 2004.
For the last three years, Moore has worked closely in collaboration
with two women (a painter and musician) in an exploration of the
spiritual quest of women. As a result, a long dormant interest in
writing has awakened, and she began adding “word” sculpture to her
repertoire. Together, they evolved in a traveling exhibit, which
has had venues in Texas and Florida over the last five years.
Most recently, Moore was invited to exhibit with a small group of Texas
sculptors at the TAACCL in Clear Lake, Texas, and in the Texas
Sculpture Association’s juried show of 2000 at the Meyerson Symphony
Hall, Dallas. She received both the Judge’s Award and the Best of
Show Award at the Hill Country Arts Foundation’s National Show in 1999,
and a First Place in Sculpture at the 2003 Brazosport Art League’s Open
Show.
Membership in The Texas Society of Sculptors, The National Sculpture
Society, The National Society of Women in the Arts, and the American
Medallic Sculpture Association has continued to be an important part of
Pat’s creative life. |
