Diana Moore

Diana Moore studied at Northern Illinois University and the University of Iowa. Her figurative works are inspired partly by the classical interpretations of the human form in sculpture from cultures of diverse times and places, including ancient Greece, Africa, and Cambodia. These sources allow Moore’s work to resonate with historical memory. Her own close observation and skillful rendering of the human form, coupled with a use of contemporary materials—such as concrete and steel—imbue her work with an exciting immediacy. Exhibitions of her work have included shows at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton and the Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie,
