Samuel Moore lives and works in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Working primarily in wood, his work reflects the natural world while exploring the emotions that connect us to it. Each piece tells a unique story through texture, form, and detail.

Moore’s creative journey began in his formative years within an artistic family, where his uncle, Puryear Mims, introduced him to the world of sculpture. A passionate follower of the old masters, Moore developed a deep respect for classical styles, blending them with his own evolving approach to create works that are both timeless and deeply personal.

He describes his choice of wood as his primary medium because it offers malleability, organic beauty, and warmth. “In the silent language of trees,” he says, “I listen, and my passion is in allowing the voice of Nature to be heard.”

His work spans the spectrum from optimistic anticipation to melancholic reflection, drawing inspiration from the intricate dance between love, resilience, and compassion. Each theme finds its place as a recurring motif. “This is my voice—unflinchingly personal—and earnestly grateful for the privilege of translating the complex tapestry of my inner world into tangible art forms.”

By harnessing the power of strong contrasts, intricate textures, and graceful movements, Moore captures not only the essence of humanity but also pays homage to the beauty of the natural world.

Moore’s art has left an indelible mark, finding its place in collections across the country. His ability to evoke profound emotions and stir the imagination resonates deeply with art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
