Coastal Traditions
Originally a New Jersey native, Kirk Moore has been
captivated by the coast of Maine for more than 25
years and now finds himself a Mid-Coast resident.
The strength of color and form inherent in his work
manifest the clarity of his vision as well as his
appreciation of the Maine light on a variety of
subjects.
He is well known for waterfront images,
which may include a raft of dinghies, working boats,
docks, pilings and bridges, or elegant sailing vessels
on shimmering waters. Kirk may just as adeptly
impart the cool shade of a canopied land or the
warmth of a sun-drenched doorstep on a mellow
autumn afternoon.
Kirk studied at Georgetown University, George
Washington University, American University and in
Aix-en-Provence, France. His work has been
featured in shows in New York, New Jersey,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine.
Kirk’s paintings are now in collections throughout the
United States, and collections in England, Ireland,
Switzerland, France, Bermuda and Australia.
