Larry Moore

Larry Moore is an artist in Charleston, SC. His work spans abstract painting, plein air location painting, editorial illustration, and opera paintings, created both outdoors and in his studio. In addition to his visual art, he works as an author and instructor, developing materials that help people access the creative spirit and broaden the way they paint, think, and play. He has been an active exhibiting artist for decades, with a 15-year run of participation in plein air events earning him multiple recognitions including Best of Show, Artist's Choice, Best in Category, Collector's Choice, and Best Pastoral. He holds a 5.00 rating based on two reviews.

His professional background as a visual communicator extends across advertising, graphic design, fine art, and 35 years of illustration, during which he worked in nearly every medium and style with the exception of egg tempera and marble. He began a painting series in 2015 built around the question, "Who is intruding on whom?" His editorial illustration has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators in New York, which awarded him a Gold medal and included his work in its annual exhibits between 1995 and 2005, and by Communication Arts Illustration Annuals from 1999 through 2008, as well as Lurzer's Archive listing him among the Top 200 illustrators worldwide. His work has been exhibited at the Society of Illustrators Museum in New York, the Orlando Museum of Art, Laguna Museum of Art, Naples Museum of Art, Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland, the Thomas Center for the Arts in Gainesville, Maitland Art Center, the Orange County Regional History Center, the Alexander Brest Museum in Jacksonville, the Tallahassee Museum, the Museum of Florida Art and Culture in Avon Park, and the Museum of Florida Art in Deland. He has also authored a 264-page workbook filled with more than 150 exercises designed to enhance creative thinking, and a 2.5-year writing project titled Fishing for Elephants. His publishing clients have included Harcourt, HarperCollins, Disney Press, Penguin, Putnam-Berkeley, Scholastic, Tor Books, and others.

His studio sits on State Street in Charleston's French Quarter, within steps of the Wagner-Trott Building Marker and the 8 Queen Street Marker, and a short walk from the Old Slave Mart, the Footlight Players Theatre, and the Lodge Alley Inn Fountain.

His accumulated recognition from the Society of Illustrators and Communication Arts, combined with decades of exhibition history across museums in Florida and New York, place him among the more decorated visual artists working in Charleston.
