An Award-winning illustrator turned painter in 1999 Rory's creations of paintings over the
past decade have ranged in styles and subject matter. The artist approaches a variety of
topics with a unique blend of sarcasm, seriousness, and offbeat humor. Devoted to
detail he uses colors and bold line forms in contemporary and expressive ways, that can
be whimsical, painterly, surreal, vintage and realistic.
"Whatever I feel at the time I paint it right in... Feeling differently day to day, week to week my interest
and curiosity on subjects and inspirations have come from encounters with people places and various
things." My overall goal has alway been to have my work become a reflection of that. In a way they are
all self portraits... glimpses of the mind ." - Rory D. L. Moorer
