Mary Moore (artist)
Mary Moore (born 25 June 1957) is a Western Australian artist. Her paintings are inspired by the day-to-day existence of her family, creating works that speak of optimism and confidence about life. She makes spaces that she charges with her meanings so that people who look at them can become evolved and make up their own stories. Her work 'Big brain' was produced while she was a student in printmaking at WAIT (now Curtin University). Her approach derives from pop art, making use of puns, such as her ''Gay Paris and the Eyefull Tower'' from her stamp series, and incorporating throw away items to comment on contemporary culture. In 1999 she was part of the group exhibition ''Rebirth, Western Australian Women Celebrating a Century of Change'' at the Moores Building and curated by Lyn DiCiero. Solo exhibitions Moore has exhibited at museums and galleries in Australia: * 1991 Self Portrait, Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, University of Western Australia * 1989 Artist in Focus 7 - M ...

He is best known for his semi- abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.
