BIO:
Penelope's paintings are a reflection of her surroundings. She paints
contemporary still-lifes and interiors. Her inspiration often begins in
social settings such as candle lit restaurants, wine bars and trendy lounges. She
often depicts the way a wineglass or table fork reflects the
surrounding atmosphere and light. By painting her subjects
larger-than-life, emphasizing abstracted shapes (usually found in
distortions and reflections of glass and metal), skewing the
perspective, and by pushing color Moore offers her viewers new and
interesting ways to perceive commonly encountered places and objects.
Penelope received her BFA in Fine Art from the
Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she lived for
seven years. Her passion for wine began during her college years while
she worked in wine bars and tasting rooms. She also visited wine
country often to paint and explore the many Northern California
appellations. Penelope's love and growing knowledge of wine continues
to be a source of inspiration in her work.
