An eclectic collection of jobs followed; including private investigator, accountant at Siberian oilfield camp, human resources assistant, administrator in a small school in Nigeria, controller for a drug store chain and equity trader.  The need for a creative outlet was partially satisfied along the way with batik, beading, charcoal and conte drawings, furniture refinishing, and mosaics.  The quest for a compelling medium continued.

In 2003 Moore began working with kiln formed glass and taking classes at the Art Glass Fusing Center as well as learning jewelry fabrication techniques.  Moore purchased a small kiln and became completely absorbed in learning about glass and experimenting with kiln formed glass.  She began to sell her glass jewelry through local gift shops and while exhibiting at art shows and fairs around central Texas.  Recently Moore has been exploring metalsmithing and enameling.  She has been designing her future work to include the new techniques.

Artist Statement

I love to travel and I have had the good fortune to visit many other countries.  I am influenced by my travels.  I am fascinated with people and with nature.  I am curious and I love to observe and soak it all in.  All this influences my work.  I am chronically optimistic and I think this characteristic also shows up in my work.
