ROBBY MOORE
BECKLEY, WEST VIRGINIA
Artist's Statement
I use what I have to creatively communicate for and with the strangely triumphant and beautifully tragic things and experiences I observe in my daily life. My faces and figures express the sadness and confidence that comes from the depth gained from thoughtfulness.
