Stephen Moore
Stephen Moore is an artist known for the color and light quality in his paintings. He is a native of North Carolina and is a graduate of UNC in Chapel Hill and retired from a thirty-four-year career in family medicine in 2015. He was taught by Eleanor Seng, a North Carolina artist who studied with Emil Holzhaurer, a student of Robert Henri. Stephen was taught by Eleanor beginning in the fifth grade at a community art center in Burlington, NC. Stephen has been painting and showing since 1980. Painting interests include European scenes as well as coastal and other North Carolina scenes. He is a landscape painter who learned to paint en plein air but works more in the studio currently. He is also interested in portrait, figurative, and still-life genres. He works in his studio in Pine Knoll Shores, NC. His work is held in the corporate collections of SAS, Jordan and Price Law firm, Rex Hospital, Family Medical Associates of Raleigh, Hospice in Raleigh, and Duke Raleigh Hospital to name but a few. Numerous private collectors across the state of North Carolina own his work. |

Janet Jaworski
Janet Jaworski was on an outing to an art museum that had students leaving classes with their portfolios. She states, "I wanted to be one of them. I knew I wanted to be an artist. It has not been a linear journey but I never lost that desire." Janet worked for years as a graphic designer for newspapers, ad agencies, then as an art director in the building material, furniture and financial industries. But painting was always in the background. She went back to that museum after her children were in high school and started taking night classes and workshops. Color is a priority in her work and then she takes inspiration from the light, movement and the abstraction within shapes. She works in her studio in Morehead City, NC now and since moving here from New England has been trying to nail down the subjects and landscapes of Eastern North Carolina. Janet is always looking, trying to get that feeling for her paintings. She states, " I constantly challenge myself to paint and paint. The results are canvases that have gotten bigger, smaller, looser and more colorful." |
